ASSIGNMENT #2: What are we going to do to help the Monarch Butterfly populations?
ASSIGNMENT #2: What are we going to do to help the Monarch Butterfly populations?
Using the details you found in your previous research, complete the following tasks:
How is our garden (Monarch Waystation) helping the Monarch population?
How could you PERSONALLY help the Monarchs? (for example, is there anything at home you could do? or in your daily life?)
Create a poster to help explain to others: (Mrs. Contreras will provide you with poster paper once she sees your rough draft!)
WHAT is happening to the Monarch populations
WHY are the Monarch populations declining (at least 3 reasons)
HOW can they help solve the problem
Either something specific in their routine/home or maybe you would like to create a club or program....up to you on how you think you could help spread the message!
Your poster must include at least ONE sketch (it could be of the monarch, their life cycle, stages, habitat, milkweed plant, migration patterns, etc.)
