BRAINSTORM THREE PROBLEMS TO SOLVE

BRAINSTORM THREE PROBLEMS:

1. The principal will visit our class and tell the students that she is planning to plant a butterfly garden outside her office window. She needs our help in learning about butterflies and teaching the other kids in the school about them, too, so she can have lots of pretty butterflies. Do you think we could find out about butterflies so we could help the principal with her butterfly garden? How could we do that?


2. I found this caterpillar (hold up a stuffed caterpillar), and she is very sad. She said she had bumped her head really hard! Now she is lost, and she can’t remember where she came from or what she is supposed to do next. The only thing she does remember is that her name is Callie Caterpillar. Do you think we could help Callie Caterpillar find out where she came from and what she is supposed to do next? How could we do that? Do you think it would help to find out what other caterpillars are doing to help Callie Caterpillar remember what she is supposed to do?


3. Our school secretary brought me this box that came for our class in the mail today. See, it says, ‘To: Mrs. Robinson’s Class’ on top of the box! And in the top corner of the box, it says, ‘FreeButterflyEggs.com’ is who the package is from. I wonder what’s in the box? (Accept responses, then open the box.) Look, there are eggs in here! I wonder what kind of eggs these are? Do you think some butterflies are about to be born? Does anyone know how to take care of butterfly eggs so we can help them to be born healthy? How could we find out?
