Samantha and Gordon are creating a model of an organism's life cycle. They choose the butterfly as their project focus. The project is due in one month. Samantha says they should create sculptures and paint pictures of butterflies as their model. Gordon thinks they should watch a butterfly transform from an egg, to caterpillar, to chrysalis, and finally to butterfly and take photos along the way.

Whose model (if any) is more realistic and why?
