This Curriki contains a video on the life cycle of a butterfly, song on the life cycle of a butterfly and 2 read alouds about the butterfly life cycle.
Imagine being the size of an ant. Be careful - a face-to-face encounter with an ant would be scary and potentially life-threatening! But, if you avoided being eaten, you could learn a lot about ant anatomy from a close-up view. Ants have many body parts that are normally hard to see without a magnifying glass or microscope. And each structure has its own special function.
This illustration shows the life cycle of a typical fern and includes alternation between the sporophyte and gametophyte generations.
Every living thing must be able to reproduce and make offspring. Most of us are familiar with how humans and mammals make babies, but do all creatures reproduce in the same way? Do insects, like the beetle, give birth to little insects? Also in: French | Spanish
This lesson provides an outline for teaching young learners about the lifce cycle of a butterfly in Spanish.
This is a project having to do with how animal and plant life cycles are similar and different.
The video describes the life cycle of stars and how they change from one stage to the next.
Make a copy of this Google Jamboard. You can uses it as an assignment, exit ticket, or assessment in your Google Classroom or LMS. There are two slides. The first the students has to complete the life cycle by dragging the correct picture to the accurate place. The second slide the student then has to type a paragraph explain the life cycle of a butterfly, using vocabulary words like egg, larva, chrysalis, and metamorphosis.
The following video is a short animation I created for students to see a Monarch Butterflies life cycle.
In this lesson, students will learn about the life cycle of an apple tree and sequence the stages of development. Includes activity instructions, extension activities, songs, and student worksheet.
NGSS: K-ESS3-1, 1-LS1-1
Time: 30 minutes
Materials: "Apples Grow on Trees" or other book about apples, apple life cycle student worksheet, glue sticks.
In this lesson, students will extend their knowledge of matter and energy cycles in an organism to engineering life cycle assessment of a product. Students will learn about product life cycle assessment and the flow of energy through the cycle, comparing it to the flow of nutrients and energy in the life cycle of an organism.
This illustration shows the life cycle of the liverwort, Marchantia; it includes alternation between the sporophyte and gametophyte generation as well as asexual reproduction via gemma cups.
Thousands of orange and black shapes flutter through the trees. Welcome to one of the few wintering homes of the monarch butterfly. Also in: Spanish
Students learn about life-cycle assessment and how engineers use this technique to determine the environmental impact of everyday products and processes. As they examine what’s involved in making and consuming cupcakes, a snack enjoyed by millions of people every year, students learn about the production, use and disposal phases of an object’s life cycle. With the class organized into six teams, students calculate data for each phase of a cupcake’s life cycle—wet ingredients, dry ingredients, baking materials, oven baking, frosting, liner disposal—and calculate energy usage and greenhouse gases emitted from making one cupcake. They use ratios and fractions, and compare options for some of the life-cycle stages, such as different paper wrapper endings (disposal to landfills or composting) in order to make a life-cycle plan with a lower environmental impact. This activity opens students’ eyes to see the energy use in the cradle-to-grave lives of everyday products. Pre/post-quizzes, worksheets, activity cards, Excel® workbook and visual aids are provided.
Monarch Mystery is an early elementary curricular program that is grounded in a local phenomenon about migrating monarch butterflies and is shared through the story of a migrant girl named Violeta. Combined with the story, this unit uses interactive activities to teach to the Next Generation Science Standards and the Washington State Environmental and Sustainability Education Learning Standards. It is also guided by a framework for Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy. We included literary opportunities to develop ELA skills in support of multilingual learners. Rounding out the program are outdoor activities, arts, and written activities that enable students to practice skills, and build toward an action project informed by their understandings and experiences. Monarch Mystery is an early elementary curricular program created by EarthGen. For this unit, we offer professional development training and assistance with implementation. If you are interested in implementing this program at your school or district, please let us know! Please contact info@earthgenwa.org for more information.
This article introduces the 17 species of penguins and shows how a study of penguin habitats and life cycles can fulfill national science content standards for K-grade 5. The author provides links to web resources and suggests books. The article appears in the free, online magazine Beyond Penguins and Polar Bears.
Students will use knowledge of life cycles to collect evidence of the stages of life a plant goes through.
This article assembles free resources from the Polar Plants issue of the Beyond Penguins and Polar Bears cyberzine into a unit outline based on the 5E learning cycle framework. Outlines are provided for Grades K-2 and 3-5.
Students investigate the life cycles of engineered products and how they impact the environment. They use a basic life cycle assessment method that assigns fictional numerical values for different steps in the life cycle. Then they use their analyses to compare the impacts of their products to other products, and suggest ways to reduce environmental impact based on their analyses.
Actúa las etapas de dos ciclos de vida diferentes y compare cómo son similares y diferentes.
Su guía turístico que juega el ukelele, Greggory, está a punto de llevarle a una aventura salvaje y extraña en el parque. Ella le mostrará cómo actuar y comparar las etapas del ciclo de vida de una planta de tomate y un escarabajo dama.
Objetivo de Aprendizaje: Investigar y comparar cómo los animales y las plantas experiencian una serie de cambios ordenados en sus diversos ciclos de vida.
