We applied a mixed-methods approach (Cook & Campbell, 1979; Creswell, 1994; Morse, 1991; Tashakkori & Teddlie, 1998) in this study to better understand the impact of extending the classroom experience to the home environment through the applied project of nurturing butterfly plants at home.	cache/cye-4816.pdf	txt/cye-4816.txt
