Students Experience Life Science Journey
Rahway Public Schools
Franklin Elementary School successfully completed the Insects and Plants Module from the Foss Science program. This engaging module provided students with a comprehensive exploration of fundamental life science concepts, including the structure and function of living things, the growth and development of plants and animals, interactions of organisms with their environment, and the biodiversity of organisms on land and in water.
As part of their final investigation for the school year, the students in Mrs. Jaqueline Fagan’s second-grade class had an unforgettable experience observing the captivating journey of painted lady larvae. The students witnessed the larvae grow, pupate, and finally emerge as beautiful adult butterflies. This hands-on activity allowed them to observe the various stages of complete metamorphosis and compare the behaviors of butterflies.
