THE LIFE CYCLE OF A 
BUTTERFLY
SUBJECT: SCIENCE 
TOPIC: LIFE CYCLE OF A 
BUTTERFLY 
CLASS: STANDARD 4 
By: Merissa Bernard
OBJECTIVES 
The students of standard 4 will be able to: 
Understand the life cycle of a butterfly. 
Label, explain and know the four stages of a 
butterfly’s life cycle: 
1.) Egg Stage 
2.) Larva Stage 
3.) Pupa Stage 
4.) Adult Stage
Let’s 
Learn 
SCIENCE!
The Egg Stage 
In the egg stage, a female butterfly lays its eggs on 
the underside of a leaf. 
This leaf will later serve as a source of food when 
the larva hatches. Butterfly eggs can hatch in a 
few days, a few weeks, or may require months. 
STAGE 1
The Larva Stage 
In the larva stage, the eggs hatch and out comes 
a caterpillar. It eats leaves and molts (sheds its skin) many times 
as it grows. 
STAGE 2
STAGE 3 The Pupa Stage 
In the Pupa Stage, the caterpillar fastens its body to 
a leaf or twig with silk. 
The caterpillar’s skin begins to harden into a 
chrysalis. The chrysalis is very hard and many 
changes take place inside. 
The body turns to a soft liquid. The wings, legs, 
and rest of the butterfly are formed from the liquid.
STAGE 4 The Adult 
Finally, at this stage a fully-grown adult 
butterfly emerges from the pupa. 
At this stage, the butterfly gets no bigger, they 
are reproductive and mobile. The adults 
undergo courtship, mating, and egg-laying.
WAYS OF INTEGRATION 
In a Science lesson under the topic, the life cycle of a butterfly 
I would use the PowerPoint Presentation to easily capture students’ 
attention, deliver specific information and to cater for the visual 
learners in the class. After, the use of these slides students would 
be able to decode and encode information accurately.
Decoding Activity 
I would use the PowerPoint Presentation to teach 
the topic and after using these PowerPoint slides, I 
would allow the students to have discussions 
among themselves about the life cycle of a 
butterfly.
Encoding Activity 
After the Power Point presentation and discussions 
students are to use either Microsoft Word, Power 
Point or freehand drawings and create either a comic 
strip, poster or painting describing each of the phase 
in a butterfly’s life cycle.
