Raising a butterfly
Our local kids museum has an annual adopt-a-caterpillar event. You get a very tiny caterpillar to take home in a small container. Over the course of a couple weeks you get to see it get bigger and bigger. Then, as jr. scientist A liked to recite, it would "build a cocoon, stay inside for two weeks, push its way out and be a beautiful butterfly!" (the last two words were always said loudly with arms up in the air). It was a really neat experience, although jr. scientist A was sad when we released our little friend into the wild.
