Through our research we have found some really great sites for education about Monarchs and other butterflies, how to care for Monarchs, and how to plant a Monarch and butterfly friendly garden (which we have done). We wanted to share them with you! Here they are:
Kidzone - Monarch Picture Story
http://www.kidzone.ws/animals/monarch_butterfly.htm
Educational Science
http://educationalscience.com/index.htm
This is the site we ordered our Monarch larvae from as well as a few milkweed plants and some other supplies.
Monarch Watch
http://www.monarchwatch.org/
They provide lots and lots of information on Monarchs! They also provide tracking information on the Monarch migration, and have a program for tagging Monarchs in the fall that you can help with.
Live Monarch Foundation
http://www.livemonarch.com/
They also have lots of information on Monarchs, as well as a milkweed plants for purchase, and a program for receiving free milkweed seeds. You can also adopt and online Monarch and watch it grow through email updates. The updates provide a lot of facts about caring for Monarchs. It is a very kid-friendly site.
Monarch Lab - Monarchs in the Classroom - University of Minnesota
http://www.monarchlab.umn.edu/
This site is also filled with lots of information. This is where we purchased the curriculum materials we are using for this project.
Journey North
http://www.learner.org/jnorth/
This site provides tons of information on not only Monarch migration, but the migration of many others. It is a wealth of information!
Hope you find some of this interesting and are able to share in the girls' excitement of learning about Monarchs!
