Ever Wonder What Caterpillars Do At Night? Time lapse video shows us!
Kathy Cothran
Ever wonder what caterpillars do at night? I was looking through my laptop when I came across one of my all-time favorite projects that my sixth graders did with time lapse photography.
There are so many fun ways to explore time lapse, and I'm looking for the movie my fourth graders made last year with the changes in the states of matter. We used time lapse to watch ice cubes and ice cream melt. We also watched a pan of water boil away. Then the kids added the key science info to the movies and shared them with the other students. I'll look for those again tomorrow! In the meantime, catch a quick look at this time lapse movie: Just as a side note, I learned a couple things during the filming of this lesson:
1. Don't let the caterpillars eat the plants that you've been growing and measuring everyday....ended our plant unit!
2. Even though they don't look like they are doing much, there's a lot of truth to that "Very Hungry Caterpillar" book! Click here to watch the movie
