In this two-part activity, learners compare and contrast a variety of life cycles to better understand different organisms and how they develop. Learners arrange and label photos of their family members to explore the human life cycle. Then learners research plant and animal life cycles, develop an illustrated "life story" of an assigned species, and share their findings with the group.
