About this resource
Description
This life cycle three pack science life cycles activity helps young scientists learn how three animals grow and change: a chicken, a frog and a butterfly. A life cycle is the set of stages an animal goes through from the start of its life to adult. When children put these stages in order, they learn that living things grow and change, and they practice the science skills of observing, naming and sequencing.
Children use 12 colorful picture cards, four for each animal: egg, hatching, chick and hen; eggs, tadpole, froglet and frog; and egg, caterpillar, chrysalis and butterfly. They mix up the cards, find the four cards for one animal, and put them in order from first to last. Then they draw each life cycle in order on the Recording Sheet. A 1st grade practice page asks children to number the stages, and an answer key is included.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover and a How to Use page with prep tips and steps
- 12 life cycle picture cards with stage names
- A Recording Sheet to draw each life cycle in order
- A 1st grade practice worksheet: number the stages from 1 to 4
- A life cycle order key and a practice answer key
Why It Helps Kids Learn
- Hands-on picture cards make the idea of a life cycle easy to see.
- Comparing three animals shows that every living thing grows and changes in its own way.
- Putting stages in order builds sequencing and early science vocabulary.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use the cards in a science center, for partner work, or as a whole class pocket chart lesson. Act out each life cycle together, then read a picture book about frogs or butterflies. This life cycle three pack science life cycles activity is a fun animal life cycles activity for kindergarten, first grade and second grade, and it pairs well with a spring science unit.
