please choose one Life Cycle them from either:
- Life Stages of a Butterfly
- Life Stages of a Frog
- Life Stages of a Pumpkin
Each living thing goes through stages of development. Construct a small theater with scenes that change to present the growth cycle of plants or animals. You can pick either pumpkins, frogs, or butterflies as the theme of the lesson and project. We can also create a Life Cycle for another subject that you might be studying.
