Each
fall monarchs migrate through our state on their way to
overwintering sites in the mountains of central Mexico.
Join
hundreds of students across the country who monitor the
monarchs' movements through Monarch Watch. This national
science program sponsors the tagging of monarch butterflies
to learn more about their migration pathways.
The migration period is usually from late August through early November. Tagging is easy, does not harm the butterfly, and is an excellent student project which integrates curriculum areas such as science, math, and social studies.
Year
round, students and teachers can follow research about
monarchs through the Home Page of Monarch Watch.
Monarch
Watch offers curriculum guides for all grade levels.
