In this lesson, students will learn that a life cycle is the series of changes a plant or animal goes through during its life. They will look at the life cycles of amphibians and insects who both go through a process called metamorphosis. They will recap key characteristics of each animal group before looking in detail at the life cycle of a frog and butterfly. Engaging video links are included for this also.
They will be tasked to complete a Venn diagram comparing amphibian and insect life cycles and then researching and creating their own life cycle diagrams for a salamander and dragonfly (information is included to support with this).
A knowledge organiser for the unit is included.
