*Heads up – We’ve changed things a bit. I’m going to be blogging AFTER we’ve completed our experiments in our Facebook Group, so make sure you join if you want to experiment with us at the same time.
So, this one totally got me!
Millie came home one day from school where they had been looking at the life cycle of a butterfly, and she used a word that I hadn’t associated with that topic so I decided to investigate.
The theory was that this is a cocoon
So my hypothesis to prove was – This is a cocoon
So I have read The Very Hungry Caterpillar around a million times in my life which said “it makes a cocoon around itself”, so yeah, that proves my hypothesis right? WRONG. Eric Carle, you are wrong!
Here’s a link explaining that the above picture, IS A CHRYSALIS!
So our findings were that no, it is not a cocoon. That picture is of a chrysalis, and my mind is blown.
We’d love to know how you went. Don’t forget to like us on Facebook to keep up with all things Stem At Home.
MOST IMPORTANTLY – don’t forget to join Facebook Group and share with us as we are trying to build a community of people who are experiementing with each other.
