Life Cycle: Compare Two Cycles

Name:                              
Date:              

Today I am practising: comparing shared and different features of two life cycles

1

Choose a butterfly and frog cycle to compare.

2

Write one stage both cycles begin with.

3

Write one stage unique to the butterfly.

4

Write one stage unique to the frog.

5

Circle one similarity in how both cycles continue.

6

Tell an adult one difference you found using the stage names.

Grown-up guide
  1. Review each cycle separately before asking for similarities and differences.
  2. Accept drawings or dictated labels in the comparison areas.
  3. Keep claims tied to the provided stages rather than asking children to infer unshown details.
