Ladybug Life Cycle Investigation Notebook
Students complete a teacher-scaffolded notebook with question prompts, stage sketches, observation pages, and a short personal explanation of how a ladybug grows. The notebook shows each student's own evidence and thinking from launch through reflection.
Class Ladybug Life Cycle Skit and Picture Walk Presentation
Teams create and perform a simple skit with stage cards and props, then guide guests through a picture walk of their library books and class visuals. The presentation must include shared findings, one piece of evidence from each student, and a brief note about any unexpected or conflicting observation.
