Life Cycle: Is It a Cycle?

Today I am practising: recognizing that a life cycle repeats through reproduction
1
Look at a seed-to-flower-to-seed diagram. Circle the repeating arrow.
2
Mark whether egg-to-adult-to-egg is a cycle.
3
Mark whether breakfast-to-lunch-to-dinner is a life cycle.
4
Draw the arrow that returns an adult butterfly to eggs.
5
Write one reason a stage sequence repeats.
6
Explain to an adult why growing taller alone is not a complete life cycle.
- Explain that a cycle returns to a starting kind of stage through a new generation, not backward in time.
- Contrast daily routines with biological life cycles without making either seem less important.
- Use arrows generously; visual repetition is the central idea.
