At Butterfly Pavilion, we transform the way people think about invertebrates. These small but mighty animals that surround us are so much more than people think. They are everywhere, because everything depends on them. They are the hidden heroes of the animal kingdom, and we--you and us--stand on the backs of these tiny giants. 

Butterfly Pavilion is the first stand-alone, Association of Zoos and Aquariums-accredited non-profit invertebrate zoo in the world and a leader in invertebrate knowledge, inspiration and connection. Our virtual programs feature interactive, real-time lessons on-screen facilitated by a Butterfly Pavilion educator, live on-screen animal experiences and/or exploration of real-world conservation topics and curriculum-aligned content that uses visual and audio media to illustrate science concepts.

Program Details

Format

Through a combination of engaging images, live animals, and physical props, students will be introduced to aquatic invertebrates and discover what adaptations help these and other animals survive in their waterlogged habitats. Plus, students will gain an appreciation for the value of wetland environments and for the importance of invertebrates within them.

Students will be able to chime in with what they know and pose questions to the presenter through both polling questions and live chat.

Objectives

Goal(s):
1. Students will discover the diversity of wetlands and the invertebrates that live in them
2. Students will understand why wetlands and their invertebrate inhabitants are important to people and the environment

Objectives:
(I THINK) I can identify the types of wetlands and invertebrates that live in them
(I FEEL) I can appreciate the importance of wetlands for people and for animals
(I DO) I can visit a wetland near me! (Though this is not measurable in this class this is an out-come we would like for them)
