BEYOND-THE-BASIC PRODUCTIVITY TOOLS

Name: Jordan Harrington

Grade Level: Second Grade
Content Area: Life Science- Butterflies
Beyond-the-Basic Productivity Tool Used: Timeliner
Standards Addressed:
S2L1. Students will investigate the life cycles of different living organisms.
a. Determine the sequence of the life cycle of common animals in your area: a mammal
such as a cat or dog or classroom pet, a bird such as a chicken, an amphibian such as
a frog, and an insect such as a butterfly.
Blooms Level of Critical Thinking:

Description of how to implement in the class: The students will go on a nature walk and find a
caterpillar. The students will create a home for the caterpillar and observe the butterfly for several
days. The students will record their observations. The students will then use Timeliner to document
what happens at each stage of the life cycle for butterflies.
Level of Technology Implementation (LoTi): This activity is a LoTi level 3 (Infusion). Students are
using technology and they are creating a timeline but they have little input in determining their own
activities.
Description of the sample BBPT file provided *: I have included an example template that the
students will use to create their timeline of the life cycle of a butterfly.
