Life Cycle: Map Chick to Chicken

Name:                              
Date:              

Today I am practising: sequencing egg, chick, juvenile, and adult chicken stages

1

Put egg, chick, young chicken, and adult chicken in order.

2

Circle the stage that hatches from the egg.

3

Draw one feature a chick and adult both have.

4

Write one way a chick differs from an adult.

5

Add arrows between every stage.

6

Tell an adult what stage can lay an egg.

Grown-up guide
  1. Use chick rather than baby chicken when introducing the stage vocabulary, then connect the two terms.
  2. Discuss similarities as well as differences so growth is not mistaken for becoming a new animal.
  3. Use pictures rather than handling eggs or chicks unless an approved adult-led setting is available.
