3 Next Generatin Science Standards (NGSS) Life Cycle Statins: Participants wrk in small grups t bserve live mnarchs and examine mdels f varius structures f thse mnarchs. Techniques fr recrding and rearing mnarchs, as well as mnarch natural histry are discussed within the grups with an instructr. Frm Mlecules t Organisms: Structure and Prcesses K-LS1-1: Use bservatins t describe patterns f what plants and animals need t survive. Disciplinary Cre Ideas: LS1.A Structure and functin: All rganisms have external parts. Different animals use their bdy parts in different ways t see, hear, grasp bjects (supprts 1-LS1) Disciplinary Cre Ideas: LS1.B: Grwth and Develpment: Adult plants and animals can have yung... (supprts 1-LS2) Disciplinary Cre Ideas: LS1.D: Infrmatin Prcessing: Animals have bdy parts that capture and cnvey different infrmatin (supprts 1-LS1) Crsscutting Cncepts: 1-LS1-2: Patterns, 1-LS1-1: Structure and Functin (supprts K-LS1-1) 3-LS-1: Develp mdels t describe that rganisms have unique and diverse life cycles but all have in cmmn birth, grwth, reprductin and death. Disciplinary Cre Ideas: LS1.B: Grwth and Develpment f Organisms: Reprductin is essential t the cntinued existence f every rganism (supprts 3-LS1-1) 4-LS1-1: Cnstruct an argument that plants and animals have internal and external structures that functin t supprt survival, grwth, behavir and reprductin. Disciplinary Cre Ideas: LS1.A: Structure and Functin: Plants and animals have bth internal and external structures that serve varius functins (supprts 4-LS1-1) Grwth and Develpment f Organisms (K-2, 3-5, 6-8) MS-LS1-4: Use argument based n empirical evidence and scientific reasning t supprt an explanatin fr hw characteristic animal behavirs and specialized plant structures affect the prbability f successful reprductin f animals and plants, respectively. Crsscutting Cncepts: MS-LS3-1: Structure and Functin Interdependent Relatinships in Ecsystems (3-5, 6-8) K-LS1-1: Use bservatins t describe patterns f what plants and animals need t survive. K-ESS3-1: Use a mdel t represent the relatinship between the needs f different plants r animals and the places they live. 3

4 Disciplinary Cre Ideas: MS-LS2.A: Cmpetitive, predatry, mutually beneficial interactin MS-LS2-1: Organisms and ppulatins depend n living and nn-living factrs. Ppulatins need fd, water, xygen. Crsscutting Cncepts: MS-LS2-2: Patterns and Stability and Change Ecsystem Dynamics, Functining, and Resilience (3-5, 6-8) Disciplinary Cre Ideas: LS2.A: Interdependent Relatinships in Ecsystems: the fd f almst any kind f animal can be traced back t plants (supprts 5-LS2-1) Mre Than Mammals: This lessn challenges participants t cmpare the rati f perceived numbers f animals with actual numbers f animals. Graphing cnnectins alng with changing a perceptin based upn evidence are strng elements f this lessn. Full explratin f the lessn includes the hmewrk assignment (write a letter by taking a stand n hw mney shuld be alltted fr endangered species). Science and Engineering Practices Asking Questins and Defining Prblems (K-2) Ask questins based n bservatins t find mre infrmatin abut eh natural and/r designed wrld. (supprts k-2-ets1-1) Engaging in Argument frm Evidence (3-5) Cnstruct an argument with evidence, data and /r a mdel. (supprts 4-LS1-1) Analyzing and Interpreting Data (3-5) Analyze and interpret data t make sense f phenmena using lgical reasning. (supprts 3-LS4-1) Analyze and interpret data t make sense f phenmena using lgical reasning. (supprts 4-ESS2-2) Engaging in Argument frm Evidence (6-8) CCR Writing Anchr #2. Write infrmative/explanatry texts t examine and cnvey cmplex ideas and infrmatin clearly and accurately thrugh the effective selectin, rganizatin, and analysis f cntent. WHST. 68.2: Develp the tpic with relevant, well-chsen facts, definitins, cncrete details, qutatins, r ther infrmatin and examples. Using Mathematics and Cmputatinal Thinking Use mathematical representatins t supprt scientific cnclusins and design slutins. (supprts MN- LS4-6) 4

5 Presenter Bis Grant Bwers Prgram Crdinatr, Mnarchs in the Classrm University f Minnesta Mr. Bwers has been wrking in the Mnarch Lab since the summer f Fr three years as an undergraduate research assistant, Mr. Bwers helped graduate students with their research and maintained the lab until he graduated in May f After graduatin, he became the Prgram Crdinatr fr Mnarchs in the Classrm. Grant is excited t have the pprtunity t wrk with teachers and prvide the tls they need t teach science, inquiry, and cnservatin bilgy. Katie-Lyn Bunney Prgram Crdinatr, Mnarchs in the Classrm University f Minnesta Katie-Lyn Bunney graduated frm the University f Minnesta in 2008 with a degree in Envirnmental Sciences Plicy and Management. Since then, she has wrked as an infrmal educatr at the Bell Museum f Natural Histry, nature centers, the Minneaplis Park and Recreatin Bard, Dakta Cunty Parks, and mst recently at Cm Park Z and Cnservatry where she was als the Camp Directr. She serves n the bard fr the Minnesta Assciatin fr Envirnmental Educatin, a vlunteer-run rganizatin fr prmting and advcating fr envirnmental educatin in Minnesta. As prgram crdinatr fr the Mnarch Lab, Ms. Bunney enjys the pprtunity t wrk with s many peple devted t and interested in prmting cnservatin and educatin. She lves having such an integral rle in prviding them with the tls and skills they are seeking. De Cansler Adjunct Teacher Trainer, Mnarchs in the Classrm University f Minnesta De Cansler taught seventh grade science at Willw Creek Middle Schl in Rchester, Minnesta fr mre than 30 years. She emplyed mnarchs as a fcal rganism in her classrm fr mre than 20 years, using the butterflies t teach bservatin skills, jurnaling, micrscpe use, technical drawing, metric measurement, data cllectin, graphing, experimental design, eclgy, cnservatin, and myriad ther cntent and prcess tpics f a standard seventh grade life science curse. Each f her students raised a mnarch frm an egg they received the secnd day f schl. Althugh Ms. Cansler cntinues t be a lifelng learner, classrm vlunteer, and teacher/cnsultant, she is delighted t reprt that she has fficially retired as f June 15,

He currently versees a $3 millin grant frm the Natinal Science Fundatin fr the prductin and educatinal utreach fr the IMAX film Flight f the Butterflies 3D. He was C-Executive Prducer f the IMAX film Dinsaurs Alive 3D and managed a $1.95 millin NSF grant that helped fund The Human Bdy IMAX film, all f which have played in mre than 125 large-frmat theaters wrldwide. He is C-Executive Prducer f Star Spangled Banner: Anthem f Liberty, a large-frmat film currently in prductin celebrating the 2014 bicentennial f the battle f Ft. McHenry and the writing f the Star Spangled Banner. He has als received a number f NASA and NOAA infrmal educatin grants and was awarded the NASA Excellence in Outreach Award. Maureen Sullivan Supervisr f Schl Prgrams Maryland Science Center Maureen Sullivan has spent mre than 35 years as an envirnmental educatr, starting at a summer camp in central Ontari where the mnarchs visited each summer, then as a naturalist in Ohi and Natinal Park Service ranger in Virginia and Philadelphia cllecting larvae t rear and teach schl children and park visitrs their life cycle and incredible endurance f these incredible butterflies. She was the curriculum specialist fr Envirnmental Science fr the Daytn, Ohi schls fr 11years where many hundreds f butterflies were raised t teach thusands f city students. She cntinues her career ding prgramming with schls that visit the Maryland Science Center. 6
