A Museum of Science Traveling Program
Life Cycles
Description
Life Cycles is a
50-minute presentation
about how living things
grow and change.
NGSS Connections• K-LS1-1. Observe and communicate that animals (including humans)
and plants need food, water, and air to survive. Animals get food from
plants or other animals. Plants make their own food and need light to
live and grow.
• K-LS1-2. Recognize that all plants and animals grow and change over
time.
• 1-LS1-1. Use evidence to explain that (a) different animals use their
body parts and senses in different ways to see, hear, grasp objects,
protect themselves, move from place to place, and seek, find, and
take in food, water, and air, and (b) plants have roots, stems, leaves,
flowers, and fruits that are used to take in water, air, and other
nutrients, and produce food for the plant.
NGSS Connections• 1-LS1-2. Obtain information to compare ways in which the behavior of
different animal parents and their offspring help the offspring to
survive.
• 1-LS3-1. Use information from observations (first-hand and from
media) to identify similarities and differences among individual plants
or animals of the same kind.
NGSS Scientific and
Engineering Practices • Asking questions and defining problems.
• Developing and using models.
• Constructing explanations and designing solutions.
• Engaging in argument from evidence.
• Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information.
Needs
We bring all materials and
equipment, including a
camera, video projector,
and screen. Access to
110-volt electricity is
required.
Space Requirements
The program can be set up in any room at least
20´ by 24´ in area. The floor must be clear, and all
sessions must be taught in the same room.
Goals: Live Organisms
During the program,
students are introduced
to two live animals and a
live plant, each with a
different life cycle.
Goals: Observation
The small group size
allows for a great view,
even of small animals.
Goals: Life Cycles
The various life cycles
are compared and
contrasted, with
discussions on egg
development, live birth,
and metamorphosis.
Goals: Life Stages
We illustrate how different
life stages help animals fill
survival needs with video
resources, animals, and
transforming costumes!
Goals: Kinesthetics
Students may get the
chance to use their
imaginations and act out
the life cycle of an
organism different from
themselves!
Program Details• Can be booked for
school groups.
• Appropriate for either
kindergarten, first-, or
second-grade students
studying life cycles.
• A 40-minute introductory
version can be booked
for mixed K – second-
grade groups.
