The Journey of Transformation from Caterpillar to Butterfly

The video from FreeSchool explores the fascinating life cycle of butterflies. It begins with the caterpillar stage, where caterpillars hatch from eggs and primarily focus on eating. After a week or two, they undergo metamorphosis, forming a chrysalis. Inside the chrysalis, the caterpillar's body transforms into a butterfly. Once the butterfly is ready, it emerges with crumpled wings, which it expands by pumping fluid. After drying its wings, the butterfly is ready to fly, mate, and lay eggs, continuing the cycle.

What is the initial stage of a butterfly's life cycle?

• Butterfly

• Pupa

• Chrysalis

• Egg

What is the primary activity of a caterpillar after hatching?

• Eating

• Flying

• Drinking nectar

• Sleeping

How does a caterpillar prepare for metamorphosis?

• By digging underground

• By spinning a web

• By attaching to a branch

• By finding a flower

What happens to the caterpillar's body inside the chrysalis?

• It grows larger

• It turns into a liquid

• It remains unchanged

• It becomes a cocoon

What indicates that a butterfly is ready to emerge from the chrysalis?

• The chrysalis changes color

• The wings become visible

• The butterfly starts moving

• The chrysalis falls off

What is the condition of the butterfly's wings immediately after emerging?

• Fully expanded and dry

• Small, crumpled, and wet

• Colorful and strong

• Invisible

What does the butterfly do to expand its wings?

• Rests on a flower

• Exposes them to sunlight

• Pumps fluid into them

• Flaps them rapidly

What is the butterfly's next step after its wings are dry?

• It finds a mate

• It returns to the chrysalis

• It lays eggs

• It flies to a flower

What marks the beginning of a new butterfly life cycle?

• The butterfly hibernates

• The butterfly changes color

• The butterfly lays eggs
