Support Materials

In an on-going collaboration with several Minnesota teachers, we have developed a variety of materials to complement classroom study of monarchs. The centerpiece of these materials is a comprehensive written curriculum that leads teachers and students through an inquiry-based study of monarch butterflies. We have three separate guides, for K-2, 3-6, and Middle School teachers. In each guide, there is a strong interdisciplinary approach; the curriculum incorporates concepts and skills in science, math, reading, writing, art and social studies. Lessons are congruent with K-8 concept and process standards as outlined in the National Academy of Science's National Science Education Standards (1996). Each guide has been indexed to the Content Standards from several states and the National Science Education Standards.

In addition to the curriculum guides, we have many other items, which are described in the Products Section.
