Butterfly Life Cycle

Question	Response
What skills does this resource explicitly teach?	This resource explicitly teaches students how to make observations appropriately within nature.
What important, related ideas/issues are not addressed in this resource?	This resource does not adequately address the social and economic aspects of butterfly conservation.
To enhance this resource the following changes would be beneficial:	Students should be taught explicit skills necessary for taking action. Multiple dimensions of problems and solutions should be more fully addressed. Opportunities for authentic peer teaching should be provided.

Principle	Rating	Explanation
Bias Minimization	Good
Multiple Dimensions of Problems & Solutions	Satisfactory	This resource adequately addresses the environmental dimensions related to the issues, but does not fully explore the economic or social dimensions.
Respects Complexity	Good
Action Experience	Good
Action Skills	Satisfactory	Students are provided with an abundance of background information that will be necessary within an effective action experience, yet students are not explicitly taught skills necessary for taking action.
Empathy & Respect for Humans	Satisfactory	Students are encouraged to work in groups cooperatively, but are not directly taught about the diversity of humans.
Personal Affinity with Earth	Very Good	Many of the lessons focus on observation nature from a hands-on approach. Experiences with nature are authentic.
Locally-Focused	Very Good	Students study natural species in their own school yard. Students make proposals for developing butterfly gardens in their own community.
Past, Present & Future	Good

Pedagogical Approaches

Principle	Rating	Explanation
Open-Ended Instruction	Good
