Life cycle of an emperor penguin sequence and fold winter science craft

Bird life cycle foldable activity bundle - owl, penguin, chicken, flamingo

These fun cut-and-paste foldable sequencing activities are a fun way to learn or review some examples of the life cycle of a bird. A cross between a worksheet and a science craft, these hands-on resources cover 4 bird life cycles - a penguin, owl, chicken and flamingo. Each foldout breaks down the life cycle into 4 parts (the penguin and owl also have a 6 part option). The differentiated template options make this a versatile resource to use for science in KS1 or lower KS2. **Life cycle of a chicken templates** 1. Pupils colour, cut and fold their template. The words used are egg, embryo, chick and chicken, 2. As above but using the words egg, egg hatching, chick and chicken. 3. Pupils colour their template, cut out the life cycle words, glue them in order onto the template, cut and fold. Uses same vocabulary as template 1. 4. As above but with the same vocabulary as template 2. 5. Pupils colour their template, sequence the life cycle labels, glue, cut and fold. **Life cycle of a penguin templates** 1: 4-part life cycle with the option to sequence either words with pictures, or descriptions with pictures. 2: 6-part life cycle with the option to sequence either words with pictures, or descriptions with pictures. **Life cycle of a flamingo templates** 1: Children colour the life cycle stages, match the words to the pictures, glue, cut and fold. 2: As above but with a straight cutting edge. 3: Children colour the life cycle stages, sequence the stages, glue, cut and fold. Option to choose simple labels or descriptions. 4: As above but with a straight cutting edge **Life cycle of an owl templates** 1: Children sequence 4 life cycles on the template, glue, cut, and fold. Option to sequence basic words with pictures, or pictures with descriptions. 2: As above, but with an easy-cut edge. 3: Children sequence 6 life cycles on the template, glue, cut, and fold. Option to sequence basic words with pictures, or pictures with descriptions. 4: As above, but with an easy-cut edge. Pupils could complete a foldout, then research the bird they have chosen and find out more about the stages of its life cycle (e.g. the length of each stage, where they nest, how many eggs are laid at a time). Guidance for this is not included. Please note, it is not possible to edit these templates. UK and US versions are included.
