Solution
First students would learn observing the Life Cycle of a butterfly, students obserrve one
organism over time and compare its early development (caterpillar) to its later development
(butterfly). A fundamental observaion skill in science is comparing and contrasting. Students will
also compare actual characteristics of a butterfly with a functional representation of a butterfly.
There are four stages in the metamorphosis of butterflies and moths : egg, larva, pupa, and adult.
Egg: Eggs are laid on plants by the adult female butterfly. These plants will then become the
food for the hatching caterpillars. Eggs can be laid from spring, summer, or fall.This depends on
the species of butterfly. Females lay a lot of eggs at once so that at least some of them survive.
Butterfly eggs can be very small
Caterpillar: The Feeding Stage : The next stage is the larva. This is also called a caterpillarr if the
insect is a butterfly or a moth.The job of the caterpillar is to eat. As the caterpillar grows it splits
its skin and sheds it about 4 or 5 times. Food eaten at this time is stored and used later as an
adult. Caterpillars can grow 100 times size during this stage. For example, a monarch butterfly
egg is the size of a pinhead and the caterpillar that hatches from this tiny eggs isn\'t much bigger.
But it will up to 2 inches long in several weeks.
Puoa: The Transition Stage : When the caterpillar is full grown and stops eating, it becomes a
pupa. The pupa of butterflies is also called a chrysalis.Depending on the species, the pupa may
suspended under a branch, hidden in leaves or buried underground. The pupa of many moths is
protected inside a coccoon of silk.This stage can last from a few weeks, a month or even longer.
Some species have a pupal stage that lasts for two years. It may look like nothing is going on but
big changes are happening inside. Special cells that were present in the larva are now growing
rapidly. They will become the legs, wings, eyes, and other parts of the adult butterfly. Many of
the original larva cells will provide energy for these growing adult cells.
Adult: The Reproductive Stage : The adult stage is very different from the larva. The caterpillar
has a few tiny eyes, stubby legs, and very short antennae. The adult have long legs , long
antennae, and compound eyes. The can also fly by using their large and colorful wings. But they
can\'t do is grow. The adult\'s work is to mate and lay eggs. Some species of adult butterflies get
energy by feeding on nectar from flowers but many species don\'t feed at all.Flying comes in
handy but female can fly easily fly from place to place to find the right plant for its eggs. This is
important because caterpillars can\'t fly far. Most adult butterf.
A life cycle is the series of changes an animal goes through during its life. Every living thing has a life cycle, which is a series of stages it goes through during its life. Different kinds of animals have different life cycles.
When some animals hatch or
are born, they look very different from the adults. A young animal changes during its life cycle. An animal that undergoes an extreme change in its body form during its life is said to experience metamorphosis.Metamorphosis is the changes of an animal or an insect from one form to another as it progresses to adulthood.
All insects undergo metamorphosis as part of their life cycles. Insects undergo either complete metamorphosis or incomplete metamorphosis.

Young animals grow up
If the zygote can grow in and interact with a suitable environment, it contains all the information required to create a new organism. It stands to reason that some aspects of embryology must be considered when studying the development of behaviour. For instance, the way the nervous system's fundamental structure is built, but we must go much further than this.
Young animals grow up
It is entirely possible to argue that in some animals, behavioural development continues throughout life. Long after an animal is independent, its behaviour may still change. Learning could therefore be seen as a form of development, and young animals occasionally learn a lot as they grow. But in this section, we'll focus on other behavioural changes that frequently occur early in life, often quickly and dramatically.
It is important to understand that young animals must always be fully functional creatures capable of acting appropriately in their own worlds. They cannot simply be incomplete creatures or inadequate stages on the path to adulthood.
Some animals are protected during their early development by an eggshell or uterus or by watchful parents, but others are free-living and must care for themselves completely. Young animals may develop into miniature adults as they grow in size over time, but in order to keep up, their behavioural responses must also adapt.
Although young cuttlefish (Sepia) start out and continue to be carnivores, at first, they can only kill tiny crustacea that are disregarded as prey once the cuttlefish has grown. As they grow closer to adult size, they move on to food that is bigger and bigger, which requires a change in the behaviour patterns used to find and catch prey.
Even more drastic behavioural and morphological changes may occur in some cases because some young animals live entirely different lives than do adults. Tadpoles are herbivores that swim and breathe like fish before changing into land-dwelling carnivorous frogs or toads.
Eristalis tenax, an aquatic filter-feeding rat-tailed maggot that breathes through a long snorkel tube at its back, transforms into a flower-feeding hoverfly (see Fig. 2). Young and adult require almost entirely different behavioural repertoires for these life histories.

These alterations mean that development frequently has to produce patterns that only function for a portion of an animal's life before disappearing. The specific coordinated movements that cockroaches use to emerge from their individual eggshells as well as the protective case that bundles a group of eggs together were both described by Provine in 1976. These movements, which are only observed on this one occasion, consist of a series of reversed waves of contraction along the body from the tail to the head.
They appear at the exact right time, at the end of the egg stage's development, and are used to propel the young cockroach nymph into the following growth
This narrated presentation discusses the development of 4 different species, two are deuterostomes and 2 are protostomes (one from the phyla Cnidaria, one from the phyla arthropoda, and two from the phylum chordata) development discussed is from early embryonic or egg stage to a mature adult. The presentation focuses on morphological development but also may key in on the purpose of each developmental stage. The creatures representing each of the phyla include the jellyfish, the honeybee, the elephant, and the platypus. Interestingly, Cnidaria have both sexual and asexual stages in their life cycle. The honeybee larvae have 3 different developmental paths they can take, the elephant has an extremely long gestation period, and the platypus is an egg-laying mammal. The video focuses on the uniqueness of each organisms development.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
