1. Different Life Cycles By: Tamera Henderson

2.  Content Area: Science  Grade Level: 1st  Summary: The purpose of this instructional PowerPoint is to have the students understand the life cycle of different animals, plants, and humans.  Learning Objective: Given websites and videos on life cycles, students will be able to give information on the different life cycles with 100% accuracy.  State Standard: GLE 0107.1.1 Recognize that living things have parts that work together.  ISTE Standard: Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes using technology.

3. Facts  A life cycle is a change an organism goes through during its life.  All organisms go through stages of development.  Water, temperature, and light affect the development of organisms.  Humans go through a life cycle too!

5. Humans  We are all going through the life cycle as a human.  Humans start off as a fetus inside of a mother’s womb.  Over time, a human becomes a baby, a toddler, then a young child.  After childhood, a human becomes a teenager, or adolescent, and then an adult.  The cycle starts over again when a human becomes a parent.

6. Question Time!!  What is the third stage of the human life cycle? a. Adolescent b. Adult c. Toddler d. Parent

7. Plants Plants need water and light to go through a life cycle. Plants start off as seeds. They need water and the sun to help them grow.

8. Questions, Question, QUESTIONS!  What animal pollinates the flowers? a. bird b. butterfly c. spider d. bee

9. Life of a Butterfly o Butterflies do not start off as butterflies! o First a butterfly is a tiny egg. o From the egg a caterpillar is born. o Then the caterpillar build a pupa around itself. o When the pupa breaks a beautiful butterfly comes out!

10. Questions  What does a butterfly start off as? a. a caterpillar b. a pupa c. an adult d. an insect

11. Feeling Froggy  Frogs form from eggs just like butterflies.  Frogs grow to be tadpoles before becoming a froglet.  An adult frog is the last stage of its life cycle.  The cycle repeats itself.

12. Last Question!  What is the fourth stage in a frog’s life cycle? a. tadpole b. froglet c. adult d. egg

14. Summary  In this lesson, students have learned about the life cycles of humans, plant, and animals. The students have watched a video further explaining life cycles, and have completed activities that corresponds with the lesson. To ensure students have an understanding, questions were given from the organisms in the lesson.
