Feeding
a Butterfly in Dr. Fink’s Kitchen
Here Dr.
Fink prepares her favorite butterfly recipe, ala Julie Childs, to show
you how to feed a captive butterfly.
Before
You Watch |
-
Discuss what monarch butterflies eat. What
do you think Dr. Fink will feed the captive monarch butterfly?
- Have
you ever watched a butterfly eat? How do you think she'll go about
feeding the monarch butterfly? What problems might she encounter?
|
After
You Watch |
- After
viewing the clip (or reading the transcript), write your own captions
for the pictures. (Student
copy.)
- Can
you see the butterfly’s proboscis? How is it like a drinking
straw?
- How
does Dr. Fink say the butterfly tastes its food?
- List
all the new things you learned, and the questions raised that
you’d like to learn more about.
- Watch
a wild butterfly drink nectar from a flower. How is the behavior
of the wild butterfly similar to the captive monarch? How is it
different?
