Metamorphosis - Complete & Incomplete

In the next exhibit at the Melbourne museum, Jed learns about Complete and Incomplete Metamorphosis in a fun and engaging way.

As a kinesthetic learner, Jed learns best by doing and not just reading or listening. This display is perfect for him, as  he gets to see, feel, touch & play.

Here is a display panel where Jed pushes either of two buttons to watch two different kinds of metamorphosis - a caterpillar hatching from an egg, or a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis.

Here is a life cycle showing a complete metamorphosis

and the incomplete metamorphosis:

with samples of insects that undergo either complete or incomplete metamorphosis:

 

 

 Jed studies the sample insects through a magnifying lens.
