Life Cycles of Living Things Sort and Sequence Activities
- PDF
Description
Use the Life Cycle Sort and Sequencing activities with your students to start or wind up a unit on how living things grow. Children cut out and sort the stages of the life cycles of a frog, butterfly, flowering plant and pine tree before sequencing them to glue to life cycle charts. In Activity 2, early readers also cut labels to add to their charts.
What’s included:
• Anchor charts (answer keys) of all four life cycles to display on the notice board or project on the screen;
• Activity 1: 16 pictures to sort and sequence + 4 life cycle charts;
• Activity 2: 16 pictures and 16 labels to sort and sequence + life cycle charts;
• Activities 1&2: Black and white versions;
• Teacher’s notes with lesson plans and extension / differentiation activities.
Use at the end of a unit teaching the life cycles of plants and animals or at the beginning of a biology unit covering more detailed aspects of life cycles to check understanding of basic concepts.
Product Overview:
• Activity 1: Children cut out the pictures, sort them and glue them on the life cycle charts. Children are encouraged to describe the way the living things change as they grow in their own words.
• Activity 2: Children cut out the pictures and labels, sort them and glue them on the life cycle chart. They complete the title and use the labels to help them describe the life cycles. Encourage children to describe the way living things change as they grow in their own words.
• Use the Anchor Charts provided to check answers and to display on the screen as they work or on the wall once the activities are completed.
