THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT 

By Stuart Kerner 

Suitable for Key Stage Three

Aim
To consider how even the smallest of us can have a big effect on the world around us.

Preparation and materials

Assembly
1. Begin by saying you are thinking of a powerful creature that can cause untold harm and destruction to many. Ask your audience if they can guess which member of the animal kingdom you are thinking of. The chances are they will respond with ‘a lion’, ‘a shark’ or some similar man-eating animal.
2. If you have the ‘Magic Flyer’ butterflies primed, open your notebook now to release them, saying that perhaps this will give the audience a clue about which creature you’re thinking of. Hopefully someone will now suggest a butterfly.
