Life Cycle of a Butterfly

Life Cycle of a Butterfly

The life cycle of a butterfly is a really long process to go though, there are 4
stages to go though so I am going to be telling you all about it from the
start to the end. 

Egg

If you did not know a butterfly starts as a little little egg. They are normally
found on a small leaf if there is only one of a big leaf if there is more than 1.
The egg stage usually lasts 3-7 days but this can change a bit among
different species of butterflies. Did you know that there are 20,000 species.

Caterpillar

Once it has been a few days the caterpillar finally starts to show through
and come out of the egg. Most caterpillars eat the eggshell after it has
hatched, others eat leafs. The caterpillar is designed to be an “eating-
machine” and before it begins to pupate it will increase its body mass
thousands of times. . The total time that the butterfly stays in the
caterpillar stage is about 2-5 weeks and varies based on the species and the
growing conditions. It is believed that the caterpillar stage is the most
dangerous in the life cycle of a butterfly as the death rates are very high. 

Chrysalis

When a caterpillar knows that it is ready to go into a chrysalis it finds a nice
and thin brunch and starts to curl its tail over and lens against the brunch.
The caterpillar makes 2 strings and attaches it to the brunch it does not full
of well it is in the chrysali that is called a silk mat. Not all butterfly species
attach in the same way. Actually, the majority of butterflies will hang upside
down from their silk pad. As you can see in the pictures at the bottom it
gets covered in this green shell that feels like a really thin leaf. Inside the
cocoon the butterfly is starting to develop into different colors it stays in a
chrysali for 1-2 weeks.

Butterfly 

After a long wait it finally the wings start to show,when it firsts come out
the wings are a bit crumbled but as time goes the wing starts going to normal
and  floats up into the air so it can fly.  The lifespan of most adult
butterflies is about 2-3 weeks but this can vary greatly among species.

The Life Cycle of a Butterfly Begins and Ends With the Adult Butterfly and

the life cycle will hopefully never end. 

Water cycle

Water cycle

Water is a big part of the day because it can decide what you are doing for the day or what you
are not doing for the day, so it is a big part of life. Did you know that it covers 70% of the world's
surface. It also creates other creations such as rivers, lakes, valleys, ice caps on mountains and
more.  There are 4 main steps to a water cycle evaporation, condensation, precipitation and collection.

Evaporation 

Evaporation is when water is found in lakes, oceans, swamps, and soil, as well as in all living
creatures and plants. Then the heat is applied from the sun and it sees the water rise into the air.
the water molecules become excited and spread out across the sky to form into a nice and big
vapor cloud. 

Condensation

Condensation is when the water vapor has risen into that sky cools then  it comes into contact
with the cooler air found up high. The vapor becomes a cloud, which is pushed around the world
by moving air currents and winds. If the water vapor cools to anything above zero degrees it will
condense as water. Then it will start to turn into droplets, These tiny droplets will start to fall into one another and merge, producing a larger droplet. When a droplet is large enough, gravity
will pull it down at a rate that exceeds the updraft in the cloud, leading to the droplet falling out of the cloud and onto the ground below.

Precipitation

Precipitation is when the water has fallen into rain and is absorbed into the ground. Soil and other
porous materials can absorb great deals of water this way, while rocks and other harder
substances will only retain a small amount of water. When the water infiltrates soil, it will move in
all directions until it either seeps into nearby streams or else sinks deeper into what is known as
groundwater storage. 

Collection

After the water has fallen and the soil has become saturated, or the snow has melted, the water
follows gravity and falls down any hills, mountains, or other inclines to form or join rivers. This
process is known as the runoff and it is how water comes to rest in lakes and returns to the ocean.
The water falls according to the incline of the place from which it is falling, and when several
threads of water meet they form a stream.

There is no start or end to the water cycle, but for explanation purposes we will start at the sun.
Solar radiation from the sun heats the ocean and causes evaporation. This water vapor then
enters the atmosphere. 

Back to school

Today is our second week of being at school from lock down because of the globule pantomimic that is going on around the world. I like being at school better than doing school at home because, we get to be around our friend and like when you are stuck on something you can ask others for help. I also like doing work at home because you get to pick what order to do your work in and if you want to have a break you can.In my opinion I like being back at school better.  What did you like better being at school or being at home?? I can't watt till it goes done to leave 1 so that we can start to play sports again.   

gravitational pull

Last term my class went on camp for 1 week. We got heaps of activity on a slide, here is one of the actives on gravitational pull.

Ancient Egypt

1. Osiris

2. Horac

3. ra

4. Anubic

5. Your name

Here is a actively that we had to do for our forcing on Ancient Egypt. Here is a crack the code actively.

Titanic

Here is a google side on what the titanic is and some facts about it. I hope you learn something from my writing. Scroll down if you want to see more about the titanic.

Titanic

Explain what could have been done
to prevent this disaster.

I think what could have been done
is that the
capital of the titanic ship
should have been
more aware of what is going
on in front of
him. Or if he could not see
in front of him he
could of thought of what kind of whether
he was driving to titanic
into, also what
county it was like was it a cold country that
has heaps on ice so that
they be aware if
the capital had to turn the ship on a sharp
corner he was really.

Last week we focused on the Titanic so here is some writing on what i thick could of happen to prevent the titanic from sinking. 

buoyancy

Here is a google drawing on what i think buoyancy is by just watching a video that our teacher sent as well we were at home. Here is my work.

Mistletoe Bay Camp

Last week, week 6 my class went on camp for 5 days and 4 nights. Here is a map of their journey all the way to Mistletoe Bay. This shows where they stopped along the way and a fact about the place is it takes 5.43 mins to get there but with all the stops that they done it took them 6.30 hours. It is 372.7 kms from Grey Main School to Mistletoe Bay. Here is my map.

Writing to Describe

 This week for writing we have been writing about a picture. We had to choose to be one of the characters in the picture or the  person taking the picture. Here is the picture that I wrote about.  Who do you think I am being?  

WALT: Write interesting sentences to describe.

Finally the day was here, I can't take it anymore.

He was lonely and scared. It wasn't fair he was in the cold, raining, stormy weather and he couldn’t stay inside because he was too big.  I put him on the the leash and took him home. It was really hard for me, I thought that the tears would of come out but they stayed in. I was tired at 5km into the walk. I wished he was smaller so I could fit him into the car as the 10k walk was so hard. I had to pull him the whole way. He was lazy!

I talked to him the whole way.  It felt like every time I said I will miss you he got sadder. I looked up and I could barely see through the fog. When I walked into the zoo all I could see was two  Giraffes staring at me. At that point I knew that it was the parents. Tears ran down my face, some happy, some sad. I put him in the gate and took him off the leash. I knew that I could come and visit any time so I said goodbye to my yellow and brown spotted friend .

Fraction Knowledge

This term for maths we have been learning fractions.  In this task we had to choose a fraction and then show it in a variety of ways.  I liked this task because there are heaps of different  ways to show fractions on it. Maybe next time I could show the fraction shape in a different way or challenge myself with using an improper fraction or a mixed number.

What is a Fairy Tale?

This week in library time I have been finding out about fairy tales. First we had to find a fairy tale in the library.  This was not easy because we looked in the fiction section of the library.  They are actually in the non fiction section.  Once we had found one we had to work out what made it a fairy tale.

I really thought that this task was fun because even though I had read fairy tales before I hadn't thought about what made them a fairy tale. Next time I could put more information in to it.  What do you know about fairy tales?
 

Problem Solving

WALT:solve math problem using place value and basic facts 

Can you think of a different way?
