(Found it online on YouTube!! If this the video does not work for you, a VHS video was included in your kit (the movie is not available in DVD).
NOTE: it doesn't seem to be able to go to full screen from this page, but will if you go to YouTube to watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEDOIwMV4Rg&t=49s
Sadly, it seems this video is no longer available anywhere - we still have VHS tapes, but who has a player?
When Sunny finds a weird-looking pod hanging from a branch, Uncle Balzac de Chameleon explains it's a pupa - a sort of "sleeping bag" where a caterpillar becomes a butterfly in a big change called "metamorphosis." Curiosity leads Sunny and Bobby on an exploration of other big-change artists, such as frogs, mosquitos, dragonflies, and more. Meanwhile, animated Francisco Flamingo flaps in with a fascinating "Flamingo Fact" about the salamander's big change, the count-to-ten "Number Dance," and the Reggae beat of "Things are Always Changing."

This is a simple "Red Rover" type game with photos of adult and baby animals to help students understand that some animals look like their parents when they are born, and some look very different and go through metamorphosis to change into adults.
