Butterflies begin their lives as eggs that hatch, then progress into larval stages that last a short while; during this stage they eat leaves. Once inside, the caterpillar will form a chrysalis for up to one week before emerging and hanging with wings down, pumping hemolymph into their wings to strengthen them. Eggs Female butterflies…
Frogs typically lay their eggs in placid water among vegetation, where the eggs are covered in a jelly-like substance to keep them moist and protect them. Once a tadpole hatches, it resembles more closely that of a fish than of a frog and features gills to enable underwater breathing and to facilitate feeding on plants…
Butterfly life cycles begin with an egg. Once hatching occurs, this produces caterpillars (plural of larva). A larva lives and feeds throughout its day. As it develops, its skin sheds to allow more space for its expanding body. This process is known as “molting”. Egg A butterfly’s life begins as an egg. Female butterflies may…
Reproduction is the foundation of all flower life cycles, occurring when male reproductive cells from one plant join with female reproductive cells from another to create pollination. At this stage, flowers produce small grains of pollen which are dispersed via wind or animals such as insects to other flowers of their species and eventually fertilise….
Flowers don’t just add beauty; they play an integral part of a plant’s life cycle! Flower petals act as pollen carriers to spread pollen grains onto nearby flowers where it fertilizes their ovules, helping plants reproduce. Seeds require water, oxygen, and warmth in order to germinate successfully. Once they’ve begun sprouting they form hard outer…
Plants undergo many steps in order to produce flowers and seeds. Pollination begins this process when male and female reproductive cells come together in the same area to form a zygote – this allows pollen grains to fertilize male reproductive cells while providing food to form flowers and seeds. Seeds can be dispersed through water,…
Encourage children to act out the various stages in a frog’s life cycle. They can draw their own diagram, or use this printable life cycle worksheet with pictures as reference for cutting out. Students can click and drag vocabulary words for kids’ frog life cycle vocabulary into the appropriate boxes, facilitating language acquisition especially among…
Female butterflies lay many eggs to increase the odds that at least some will survive and continue their lives as butterflies. As soon as eggs hatch they transform into larvae or caterpillars which feed and develop while also shedding their skin periodically. Once a caterpillar has completed its life cycle, it forms a protective shell…
Germination (break-open of seeds) requires oxygen, water and temperature conditions that meet specific parameters for them to germinate (become open). This process is known as germination. Seedlings form roots and leaves to gather water, nutrients and sunlight for photosynthesis to produce food for themselves – this process helps them grow into mature plants which blossom…
