Engage Students in an Interactive & Immersive Life Cycle Challenge!

Help students explore the fascinating stages of life cycles with this engaging sorting activity!

By matching life cycle stages, descriptions, and example organisms, students will deepen their understanding of how plants and animals grow and change over time.

What’s Included:
63 Cards in Total – Each of the 21 life cycle sorting sets includes:
21 Stage Cards – Identifies key life cycle stages (e.g., egg, larva, seedling).
21 Description Cards – Provides a brief explanation of each stage.
21 Example Organism Cards – Shows an animal or plant that experiences this stage.
Blank Cards – Perfect for student-created life cycle sets or independent research tasks.

How It Works:
Students will match each stage card with its corresponding description and example organism to form complete sets!

Through discussion and reasoning, they’ll uncover the life cycle patterns of various species.

The blank cards provide an opportunity for students to research and introduce additional life cycles, deepening their engagement with biology topics.

Best For:
Life Science, Biology, and Ecology Units
