## Resource

Discover the amazing science of metamorphosis and butterfly life cycles as we explore exactly what happens inside a chrysalis. Join Dr. Owl, Emma, and Ziggy as they uncover hidden butterfly blueprints and learn why a caterpillar's transformation is like rebuilding a Lego set! Plus, find out what a "proboscis" is and why a butterfly's very first job isn't flying, but waiting. Learning Connection: NGSS DCI: LS1.B – Growth and Development of Organisms
