V-Scope Explorer: Butterfly Life Cycle (1-Year Single Teacher License)

I teach a life skills classroom with a population of students with varying disabilities (autism, Downs Syndrome, intellectually disabled). They need a hands-on, multisensory, media rich curriculum to learn new information and retain the knowledge gained. There is no other resource that shows the body parts of a caterpillar as clearly as the videos on the V-scope. I have searched high and low on the internet for some way to show the spiracles, bristles and foot grasp for the Painted Lady caterpillar and can only find close-ups using this site. GREAT resource and worth every penny!

This is the second year I purchased this product. My 2nd graders thoroughly enjoyed seeing everything larger than life on our Promethean board. We took about 45 minutes to look at and discuss the photos, and I hinted at what students could expect once our young caterpillars would be going through their life cycle in our classroom. One feature I discovered this year that I hadnt noticed last year was the view with labels on many of the photos - an important text feature we talk about in nonfiction reading.
