The hypothesis is that the Monarch butterfly will not be able to survive wet and freezing cold temperatures.

You will set up four fish tanks, each with 10 Monarch butterflies. You will spray the butterflies with water and expose them to different conditions. You will observe the butterflies for three days to see if they survive or die.

You will need four transparent fish tanks, 40 Monarch butterflies, a spray bottle, one liter of tap water, and a cold storage room.

The results of the experiment show that all the Monarch butterflies in tank A will survive, some of the butterflies in tank B (approximately 50%) will survive, and the butterflies in tanks C and D will not survive. This proves that the hypothesis is true - that Monarch butterflies will not be able to survive wet and freezing cold temperatures.

This science project is interesting because it shows how global warming can have a drastic effect on the Monarch butterfly population.

Variations of this experiment could include repeating the experiment without wetting the butterflies' wings first, or finding out more precisely how many hours or days the Monarch butterflies with wet wings will be able to survive in freezing temperatures.

Hey there! Here are some awesome videos about this science project that we think you'll really like. They're not only super fun, but they'll also help you learn more about the science behind the project. So sit back, relax, and get ready to have some fun!!
