Life Goes Around and Around Life Cycles – Activity 1 Lesson Focus Outcomes Life and Living 2.9 Compares and contrasts similarities and differences within and between groups of familiar living things. Indicators • Identifies changes during the life cycles of familiar living things or natural processes. Skills Focus • Predicts • Records • Communicating Background Information Cyclic patterns occur in nature. The most obvious of these are the life cycles of different animals, including humans. Other cycles involve weather, climate, the passing of time (days, weeks, months, years), water etc. The repetitive nature of life on Earth is a concept that can be reinforced from many perspectives. Before the Lesson Materials Needed Photographs and charts of animals at different stages of their life cycle, or life cycle charts. Preparation • Collect charts and photographs of animals at different stages in their life cycle. The Lesson Stimulus • Use photographs and charts to show a variety of animals at different stages of their life cycle. Discuss the differences between a caterpillar and a butterfly. How can these be the same animal? Talk about the differences between a tadpole and a frog. How can these be the same animal? Introduce the concept of animals developing as part of a cycle. Discuss ‘cyclic’ terms (for example, larvae, pupa, seedling). What to Do • Ask the students to complete the first part of the activity sheet. How is this cycle a cycle of time? What other cycles of time are there? • Students complete the four cycles by drawing and naming the steps in each cycle. They discuss their ideas with a partner • When the students have completed the task, discuss each cycle to ensure the correct steps are included. • Complete the lesson by getting students to name other life cycles. After the Lesson Answers 1. morning afternoon night morning afternoon night 2. (b) seed seedling flower fruit (b) egg larva pupa adult (c) winter spring summer autumn (d) baby child adolescent/teenager adult senior Additional Activities • Explore the cycles of animals that hibernate; for example, the life cycle of bears. Display Ideas • Students look through magazines and find pictures of people in one of the five stages of their life cycle. The pictures can be glued on black card, labelled and have arrows attached to show the order. • Other posters of life cycles can be created and displayed. The students can draw, paint or use pictures from the Internet and put them in the correct order, showing the cycle. ©R.I.C. Publications Low Resolution Images Display Copy 2 PRIMARY SCIENCE ~ R.I.C.
