Metamorphosis

This week, think CHANGE! Essentially, all the word metamorphosis means is changing from a baby to an adult; however, this isn’t just a little change. This word is usually used to describe a drastic change in body type from the infant/juvenile stage to the adult stage. Some great examples of this are tadpoles turning into frogs or caterpillars turning into butterflies!
