REVIEW:
When we think of habitats we usually think of large spaces rather than a single plant. "Individual plants can also be home to many animals," as this site demonstrates in exploring the milkweed plant. The different animals such as the Milkweed Tiger Moth & caterpillar, Harvestmen, Slug, Aphids, and Milkweed Bug that thrive on the plants are examined. The metamorphosis of the monarch caterpillar is shown in pictures and a movie. Also offered are online crossword and word search puzzles, a true/false quiz, comparing and contrasting exercises, and a worksheet that facilitates the student's exploration of the site. The resource page provides both web based and print resources for students to extend their studies.
