Life Cycles

In this investigative class, student scientists are challenged to use their senses to observe and interact with three live animals on camera to solve the mystery of their connection–metamorphosis!

Curriculum Standards Supported:  

Colorado Academic Science Standards

• SC.K.2.1-GLE.1 To live and grow, animals obtain food they need from plants or other animals, and plants need water and light.  
• SC.1.2.1-GLE.1 All organisms have external parts that they use to perform daily functions. 
• SC.1.2.2-GLE.2 Young organisms are very much, but not exactly, like their parents, and also resemble other organisms of the same kind.  
• SC.2.2.2-GLE.2 A range of different organisms lives in different places.  
• SC.3.2.1-GLE.1 Organisms have unique and diverse life cycles. 

Next Generation Science Standards

• 1-LS3-1 Make observations to construct an evidence-based account that young plants and animals are like, but not exactly like, their parents 
• 3-LS1-1 Develop models to describe that organisms have unique and diverse life cycles but all have in common birth, growth, reproduction, and death
