Cal Poly San Luis Obispo - Video Conference  with Prof. Villablanca - Migrating  Monarch Butterflies

11/17/2018

 
How to think like a scientist with Cal Poly San Luis Obispo Professor Francis Villablanca, PHD,  “What made you want to be a scientist?” asked a 5th grader. Curiosity! Answered Professor Villablanca. On Tuesday, November 13th 2018, Mrs. J. Hall’s class of 1st graders and Mrs. Rios ‘s 5th grade class had the amazing opportunity to video conference with Professor Francis Villablanca from California Polytechnic State University in San Louis Obispo.

The goal was to learn a bit about the scientific process from a scientist, see how a scientist goes about answering how things work, and to absorb some of that passion for basic science. We also wanted to learn about how our actions impact the surroundings and the environment, and how is one species affecting the rest of the environment.

Professor Villablanca is the principal investigator of MonarchAlert, the organization entrusted by United States Fish and Wildlife agency to tag and study Monarch Butterflies in our part of California. (Learn more at https://monarchalert.calpoly.edu/)

The Vintage Magnet students from those two classes were able to participate in the Citizen Scientist Program from Monarch Alert and tag the Monarch Butterflies they raised. See this article that describes the process.
http://www.vintagemagnet.net/news/vintage-students-are-on-monarch-alert-as-cal-poly-san-luis-obispo-citizen-scientists.

Student's questions showed amazing depth and deep curiosity. Is the Monarch Migration affected by global warming? How does a Monarch know when to fly South? Are Monarchs endangered or going to be extinct soon? You can hear the amazing answers he answers in these videos: _______________

We want to thank Professor Villablanca for graciously accepting the invitation, Mr. Nolasco for helping with the technical connection, and Mrs. Rios and Mrs. J Hall for encouraging the students to think out of the box, and Mrs. Silvia for getting us in the Monarch tagging program and arranging the meeting.
