Movies of Cabbage White Larvae

                                        The larvae in the egg starts to move after 13 seconds.

Monday November 26th - CWB Eggs have arrived!

Wednesday of last week our Cabbage White Butterfly eggs arrived!
This past week we placed them on the radish leaves and additional cabbage leaves provided so they had something to eat when they hatched.

Today in class the students sketched both the egg and the larvae in the first instar stage of their life cycle.  They were able to get very accurate measurements using our new digital microscopes.
Here are the pictures we took from class.

Friday November 16th

Today in class the students had some class time to work on their Greatest Scientific Discovery Project.  They could ask questions on their research and also see a presentation by Mr. Arsenalt on how to embed a YouTube video in their Keynote presentations. 

Here is a link on how to complete the process.

Good Luck!
