Label diagrams, compare life cycles, and explain your thinking.
1. Label each stage of the frog life cycle in order, starting from the egg. Use these words: Egg, Tadpole, Froglet, Adult Frog.
2. Fill in the table to compare the life cycles of a butterfly, a frog, and a pine tree.
Life Cycle Stage Butterfly Frog Pine Tree Starts life as How it grows up How it reproduces
3. A butterfly and a pine tree look very different and live in different places. Explain TWO things their life cycles have in common.
4. A dog and a dandelion both go through birth, growth, reproduction, and death. What does this tell you about life cycles?
A Only animals have the four stages of a life cycle. B All living things share the same four life cycle stages, even if they look different. C Plants skip the reproduction stage because they do not make seeds. D Animals have longer life cycles than plants. 5. A student says, 'A butterfly's life cycle is more complex than a dog's because it has metamorphosis.' Do you agree or disagree? Explain using the four stages all organisms share.
6. Compare the life cycles of a chicken and an apple tree. Fill in each box using what you know.
