Butterfly School
From the Butterfly House at the Missouri Botanical Gardens, the Butterfly School website is a wealth of information for studying about or raising butterflies. We raised butterflies one year and the children thoroughly enjoyed it. In addition to step-by-step instructions for raising butterflies, this site has enough background information for a mini unit study.

The tragic history that gives Trail of Tears State Park its name provides a sharp contrast to the peaceful, serene setting and the abundance of recreational opportunities enjoyed by visitors today.

Towosahgy State Historic Site
At one time, between A.D. 1000 and 1400, the site was a Mississippian civil-ceremonial center and fortified village. Within this village, a full gamut of ceremonial and domestic activities took place that served the inhabitants needs from "cradle to grave. Visitors to the 64-acre tract of land can see remnants of past activities in the form of earthen mounds constructed for ceremonial, residential and religious purposes. Less obvious, but more telling, is the evidence of past occupancy that has been found through professional archaeological research in the soils of the site.
