SC23.3.5: Develop and use models to compare the diverse life cycles of…

Who Lives Here? Grades 3–4

A schoolyard survey with string squares and hand lenses, sorting animals by their features, life cycles from caterpillar to butterfly, and who can live in which habitat. Students look, count and sketch but never collect or harm. Works in any climate and any country, in a garden, on pavement or in a desert.

• Does every animal grow up the same way? 45–60 min

  Teams get clues about the life of one animal (a butterfly, a grasshopper, a frog or a bird), order the stages, and draw a life-cycle wheel. They compare the four wheels, find what every life cycle shares and see how a butterfly's cycle differs from a grasshopper's.
