What educators are saying

I love the continuity used in the bundle. The students know what to expect and look forward to completing the next activity, Students were engaged with the lessons and activities. Very helpful unit to go with our study on the plant life cycle.
My students loved this unit, and I loved how my prep work was reduced. I also love the 5E style of planning!

    Description

    Looking for a fun, interactive way to help your third-grade students learn about the life cycles of animals and plants? These eight science stations are perfect for deepening your students' understanding of animal life cycles and plant life cycles. Students will explore concepts such as complete and incomplete life cycles, stages of life cycles, parts of a plant, flower dissection, and migration.

    Each station is clearly labeled with instructions, so setting up and running the stations is a breeze. And best of all, your students will have a blast learning through hands-on science exploration!

    Plant and Animal Life Cycle Science Stations Include

    Vocabulary Cards in two formats with and without pictures.

    Watch a Video - Students watch a video about the Life Cycle of a Dung Beetle or the Stages of a Plant Life Cycle and answer questions. Allow students to choose the video or have them do both.

    Play a Game About Parts of a Plant & Animal Life Cycles - Students interact with a video game about the plant and animal life cycles. There are four video game choices that are about parts of a flower, plant growth, and animal life cycles. Each video has its own set of questions and task cards.

    Investigate - Compare Complete and Incomplete Animal Life Cycles - Students investigate the similarities and differences between an ant and praying mantis life cycle and answer questions about the complete and incomplete metamorphosis.

    Diagram Animal Life Cycle Stages - Students diagram the life cycles of frogs, sea turtles, chickens, and salmon, and answer questions about the animals’ life cycles.

    Read About Geese Migration - Students read a passage about Migrating Geese and answer questions about the life cycle of geese.

    Model Parts of a Flower Dissection - Students dissect a flower, label the parts, and answer questions about their dissection.

    Explore Parts of Plants That We Eat - Students explore the parts of common plants we eat and answer questions about the various parts.

    Sort Plant Life Cycles - Students sort the life cycle of five different plants and explain their reasoning.

    Google Classroom™️ Components Include:

    ► Google Forms™️ with Reading Passages, Differentiated Questions and Links to the Videos and Games (all stations)

    ► Google Slides™️ with Activity Directions & Worksheets to record results (Investigate, Diagram, Model, Explore, and Sort)

    Differentiated Responses

    Each station includes four different ways to respond to the experience at the station: short answer questions, fill-in-the-blank questions, task cards with short answers, task cards with multiple choice. All the variations are similar to one another. Choose the format that best fits your classroom and students. Students are encouraged to use their science journal, but worksheets are included as well.

    Each station is designed to last about 15-20 minutes. Students may do one a day for 8 days, 2 a day for two days, or any format that works for your classroom. Because there are additional activities for the Watch and Play stations, you can offer those as a choice within that station or offer them as an early finisher station, as well.

    See the preview for additional information and details.
