1 National Tropical Botanic Garden Kampong Science Teacher Enrichment Program Author: Susy Chu Affiliation: Carrollton School of the Sacred Heart Target Grade: 7 Lesson Length: 8 block sessions Title of Lesson: Gardening for Butterflies NGSSS Standard: 1. SC.7.L.17.1 Explain and illustrate the roles of and relationships among producers, consumers, and decomposers in the process of energy transfer in a food web. 2. MAFS.7.SP.1.1 Understand that statistics can be used to gain information about a population by examining a sample of the population; generalizations about a population from a sample are valid only if the sample is representative of that population. Understand that random sampling tends to produce representative samples and support valid inferences. Objective(s): The students will be able to: 1. Explain the relationship between plants and their pollinators. 2. Analyze data collected through observation of plant parts, and sampling incidence of butterflies in different plants. 3. Create a comprehensive butterfly garden guide. Evaluation Question(s): Write at least one question to match each objective 1. How do pollinators take advantage of plants? 2. What information can you gain by analyzing plant parts and incidence of butterflies in these plants? 3. How can we grow a butterfly garden?
2 Abstract Please provide a brief overview ( words) of your lesson. In this activity, students will study the relationship between plants and their pollinators, specifically butterflies. They will observe, describe and compare physiological features of plants found in a butterfly garden. They will relate these characteristics with the needs of butterflies, in both the developmental stage and the adult stage. They will choose a regular home garden and a butterfly garden, and sample plants and incidence of butterflies within those two gardens. They will also take notes about their observations of the interactions between butterflies and the plants. They will start by mapping both gardens, and assigning sections for each student to observe. For the sampling technique, they will take pictures of the pollinators with the plant they are interacting with, in their assigned area. They will analyze this data, and compare it between the two sites. With this data, students will create a comprehensive butterfly garden guide. Background Information Please provide any necessary background information necessary. There is a special type of mutualism relationship between plants and their pollinators. Some plants require agents to complete their pollination process, in which pollen grains are mobilized between flowers of the same species to allow plants to reproduce. An example of these pollination agents, or pollinators, are the butterflies. Butterflies are usually attracted to plants because their flowers produce nectar to feed the adult butterflies, and because they produce food, mainly leaves, for their offspring, in their larval or caterpillar stage. By observing and recording information about the type of plants, their flowers and quality of nectar, one can infer about the plants that attract most butterflies.
3 Engagement Estimated Time: 5 minutes Brief description of the Engagement: Students get interested by observing beautiful HD pictures of pollinators and plants. The teacher will: Piques students curiosity and interest Determines students current understanding (prior knowledge) of a concept or idea 1. Teacher shows different pictures of butterflies, at different stages of their life cycle, especially interacting with plants. 2. Teacher asks students to describe what they see in the pictures. 3. Teacher asks students: Who likes butterflies? Who would like to see butterflies more often? The students will: Become interested in and curious about the concept/topic Express current understanding of a concept or idea 1. Students observe pictures shown by teacher. 2. Students answer questions presented by teacher. List some possible questions to ask the students and give anticipated answers: Questions: Answers: 1. What do you see in the pictures? 1. I see a butterflies, eggs, larvae. 2. How are the living things interacting? 2. The butterfly is feeding from a flower. The egg is on the leaf. 3. Who likes butterflies? Who would like to see butterflies more The pupa is hanging from a plant stem. often? 3. I do. List resources and quantities needed for the Engagement: A PowerPoint with different pictures of butterflies interacting with plants at different stages of their life cycle Describe any safety considerations for the Engagement: N/A.
4 Exploration Estimated Time: 6 block sessions Brief description of the Exploration: Students observe, collect and analyze field data about pollinator and plant interactions from two different gardens. The teacher will: Observes and listens to the students as they interact Asks probing questions to redirect the students investigation when necessary Asks questions to help students make sense of their experiences 1. The teacher asks student to choose two similar size garden areas in school grounds: a butterfly garden, and another garden. 2. The teacher asks students to measure the area of the gardens, and divide it into sections (according to the number of students), so that at least two students can be assigned to each section. 3. The teacher asks students to collect data/information about the gardens: types of plants, number of plants, types of leaves and flowers, type of offering to pollinators (nectar or pollen), sugar concentration of nectar, etc. 4. The teacher takes students to gardens to do their study of the gardens. 5. The teacher chooses the day and time that students will go out to gardens to observe plant-pollinator interactions. This will happen for at least four sessions. The teacher takes students to do the observations. 6. The teacher creates a Google Sheet (or Microsoft Excel Worksheet) to transfer the data collected into an electronic file, and shares it with students so that they can all collaborate. 7. The teacher asks students to analyze data in groups of 3, using the features of the software. The students will: Conduct investigations in which they observe, describe, and record data Acquire a common set of experiences so they can compare results and ideas Compare their ideas with those of others 1. Students choose two gardens to be studied in school grounds: a butterfly garden, and another garden, both with similar areas. 2. Students measure the gardens and divide them into sections. Each pair of students will be assigned a section of the gardens. 3. Students decide which kind of information they will collect from the gardens, and create the data collection table. 4. Students gather data/information from the gardens, and record data in their tables. 5. At a specific day and time (determined by the teacher), for at least four sessions, students will go out to the gardens, and quietly observe the interactions between pollinators and plants. They will use technology such as their camera phones to take pictures and videos of the interactions, to later record the information in their data tables. 6. Students transfer data collected into an electronic file so that they can analyze in a collaborative manner. 7. Students make groups of 3 and analyze data using formulas and graphs.
5 List some possible questions to ask the students and give anticipated answers: Questions: Answers: 1. What are the parts of a flower? 1. Sepal, petal, stamen, pistil (use a diagram) 2. How do flowering plants reproduce? 2. Pollen is moved to the pistil, and reaches the ovule to 3. How do butterflies help reproduction of plants? fertilize it. 4. How do butterflies take advantage of plants? 3. Butterflies are pollinators, they help transferring pollen from the anthers of one flower to the pistil of another flower of the same species. 4. Butterflies need nectar to feed, and food for their larval or caterpillar stage.
