  • Generations of Butterflies Generations of Butterflies

    BOCES4Science

    In this unit of study, students explore the phenomenon of monarch migration to Mexico. Lessons within the unit help students figure out that a special generation of monarchs migrate to Mexico over several months even though their adult life span is typically two to three weeks. Additionally, students determine that the butterflies making the trip south do not come back north. A main topic in this unit is life cycles. Students watch butterflies go through their life cycle right in their classroom and collect data on the four stages of their life cycle — birth, growth, reproduction, and death. Another main topic in the unit is inheritance of traits. Variations of these traits provide advantages in surviving, finding mates, and reproducing.

  • Invisible Forces Invisible Forces

    BOCES4Science

    In this unit of study, students explore balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object and how data collected about an object’s motion can predict future motion. Cause and effect relationships of electric (static electricity) and magnetic interactions are explored through questioning strategies. Students use the engineering design process to create their own Rube Goldberg machine that incorporates the various “invisible” forces learned throughout the unit.

  • Where Are the Wolves Where Are the Wolves?

    BOCES4Science

    In this unit of study, students learn about how bringing wolves back to Yellowstone National Park changed that park’s ecosystem. Students discover that wolves no longer live in New York State and are posed with the question, “Should wolves be brought back to Adirondack Park in New York State?” To help students make a claim and argue from evidence, students learn about animal adaptations, group vs. solitary animals, and why some organisms survive well in a particular habitat while others survive less well or not at all.
