| Do you want to replicate the Butterflies in Space experiment in your classroom, but you don't have a habitat? No problem! The Butterflies in Space Habitat "How-To" Video is a demonstration of how teachers and students can easily build a classroom habitat at a reasonable cost. The video provides information on the materials needed and how to set up the feeders that hold the food and water. The video also provides a brief overview of the Painted Lady butterfly life cycle and information about the spaceflight-based experiment conducted on the International Space Station in 2009. Download the Butterflies in Space Teacher's Guide. Archived video and photos of the space-based experiment can be accessed on BioEd Online. |
