Our spring science unit is on life cycles so this project fit in beautifully. I introduced the ladybug unit by showing a PowerPoint presentation on our interactive whiteboard. In the presentation I told the children what they needed to learn. Please click here to read all about our project. Below are a few examples of some projects.

Just a few of the models that were made, these show an egg, a pupa and the ladybug.

The children combined drawings, pictures from the internet and their own writing for the poster.

In the background you can see eggs on a leaf and a pupa hanging near the top of the scene. Both puppet shows depicted the life cycle of the ladybug.
