The main objective of the unit is to introduce young children to the concept of life cycles by using one organism as an example children also learn scientific vocabulary. The first eight lessons focus on the caterpillar and cocoon stages of the silkworm. Children begin their study of these two stages by sharing their prior knowledge of caterpillars and then as, a pre-assessment exercise, they draw what they think a caterpillar looks like. In lesson 2, they learn about caterpillars' basic needs for air, water, food, and shelter and make and record their first observations.
