** Investigating the needs and the Life Cycle of an organism. **
=__ SCO 101-7 __= ==== ** Observe and describe changes in the appearance and activity of an organism as it goes through its life cycle. Also, to be able to recognize the stages of development of an organism, using applicable terminology and language. ** ====

====** The objective of this lesson is for the students to be able to identify and name the sequential stages of the life cycle of the butterfly and to recognize the physical changes that it undergoes. They will demonstrate their knowledge through using technological sources such as Concept mapping, Audacity, Kidbog and Powerpoint. We chose these particular technologies because they are challenging enough for grade 2 students without being overwhelming and inaccessible to them. We believe students will benefit from learning how to use Concept Mapping, Audacity, Kidblog and Powerpoint because technology is the way of the future. Students need to be prepared to use technology and these programs will provide them with a good, hands-on introduction to some basic yet effective technologies. Using technology is a great way to motivate students to learn, and the novelty of using technology in the classroom keeps students interested and engaged. In addition, we like these particular technologies because we feel they compliment our individual lesson plan activities nicely. **====
