For my IBA I decided to develop an activity geared towards second graders that meets the criteria and standards of second grade science. The activity requires students to go to the National Geographic website to read information on monarch butterflies. While they are there, they can also look at pictures of the butterflies. Students are required to go through a slide show with various information on the butterflies and answer questions about what they read/learned. I chose this site because not only can students find information for this lesson, but they can also explore the website more and look up other animals they might be interested in.
Since I had some practice making the IBA when we went over the rockstar activity, I felt more comfortable making this lesson. The hardest part was determining a subject to focus on and the standards. The questions for the lesson were fairly easy to come up with. The questions were simple and straight forward since they are geared towards second graders. There was a lot of information on the National Geographic site about monarch butterflies, so it was sort of difficult to choose what information I felt was the most important to form the questions from.
