Adaptations

To the Tune of “Spongebob Squarepants Theme”

Lyrics by C. Dawson

Ready, scientists?        Aye-aye, teacher.

I can't hear you...        Aye-Aye, teacher!!

Oh! What helps organisms to thrive and survive?

Ad-ap-ta-tions!

Parts and behaviors will keep you alive!

Ad-ap-ta-tions!

If you are a bird and its food that you seek…

Ad-ap-ta-tions!

The part that will help you to eat is your beak!

Ad-ap-ta-tions!

Ad-ap-ta-tions!  Ad-ap-ta-tions!  Ad-ap-ta-tions!  Ad-apt-a-tions!

Metamorphosis: A Butterfly Song

(Tune: Up on the Housetop)

First comes a butterfly and lays an egg.

Out comes a caterpillar with many legs.

Oh see the caterpillar spin and spin,

A little chrysalis to sleep in.

Oh, oh ,oh wait and see!

Oh, oh, oh wait and see!

Out of the chrysalis, my oh my,

Out comes a beautiful butterfly!

Butterfly Cycle

(Tune: Row, Row, Row Your Boat)

By Suzy Gazlay

 Hatch, hatch little egg,  I'm so very small.

 Teeny tiny caterpillar,   I’m not very tall.

 Crawl, crawl, caterpillar, munching on a leaf.

 Crawling, munching, crawling, munching, eat and eat and eat.

 Form, form chrysalis,  I'm a different shape;

 Hanging by a silken thread until I can escape.

 Rest, rest, chrysalis while I change inside;

 Now at last my time has come to be a butterfly.

 Stretch, stretch, pretty wings, it's a special day;

 Soon they will be strong enough for me to fly away.

 Fly, fly, butterfly, fly from flower to tree;

 Find a place to lay my eggs so they can grow like me.
