OBJECTIVES
The students of standard 4 will be able to:
Label, explain and know the four stages of a
butterfly’s life cycle:
1.) Egg Stage
2.) Larva Stage
3.) Pupa Stage
4.) Adult Stage
Understand the life cycle of a butterfly.

Let’s
Learn
SCIENCE!

The Egg StageIn the egg stage, a female butterfly lays its eggs on
the underside of a leaf.
This leaf will later serve as a source of food when
the larva hatches. Butterfly eggs can hatch in a
few days, a few weeks, or may require months.
STAGE 1

The Larva StageIn the larva stage, the eggs hatch and out comes
a caterpillar. It eats leaves and molts (sheds its skin) many times
as it grows.
STAGE 2

The Pupa StageSTAGE 3
In the Pupa Stage, the caterpillar fastens its body to
a leaf or twig with silk.
The caterpillar’s skin begins to harden into a
chrysalis. The chrysalis is very hard and many
changes take place inside.
The body turns to a soft liquid. The wings, legs,
and rest of the butterfly are formed from the liquid.

STAGE 4 The AdultFinally, at this stage a fully-grown adult
butterfly emerges from the pupa.
At this stage, the butterfly gets no bigger, they
are reproductive and mobile. The adults
undergo courtship, mating, and egg-laying.

WAYS OF INTEGRATION
In a Science lesson under the topic, the life cycle of a butterfly
I would use the PowerPoint Presentation to easily capture students’
attention, deliver specific information and to cater for the visual
learners in the class. After, the use of these slides students would
be able to decode and encode information accurately.

Decoding Activity
I would use the PowerPoint Presentation to teach
the topic and after using these PowerPoint slides, I
would allow the students to have discussions
among themselves about the life cycle of a
butterfly.

Encoding Activity
After the Power Point presentation and discussions
students are to use either Microsoft Word, Power
Point or freehand drawings and create either a comic
strip, poster or painting describing each of the phase
in a butterfly’s life cycle.
