Here are some interesting sites that I’ve found this week, thanks to my PLN.

I hope some of these inspire you, inform you, and even have you asking questions. Thank you for coming by and visiting!

Metamorphosis of the Butterfly – a TED-ed lesson; “In order to become a butterfly, a caterpillar’s body dissolves almost completely and is rebuilt from its own juices. Butterflies are just a few of the 800,000 insect species that transition from larvae to adults through complete metamorphosis. But how exactly does this process work? Franziska Bauer explains how these squishy larvae emerge as armored, aerodynamic, and nimble adults. (L:M,H;SA:S)
