The Life Cycle of a Human

Life Cycles Introduction Life Cycles Activity One Life Cycles Activity Two Life Cycles Activity Three Life Cycles Activity Four Life Cycles Activity Five Culminating Activity
 

Explorers, your journey through the life cycles of living things is almost over. We have saved the best for last...you! You are a living thing. Just like the living things that you have learned about already, you too go through stages in your life.

Use this PowerPoint (click here to view) to learn about the stages of your life. While you are reading the PowerPoint, be sure to keep in mind the other living things you have learned about. How are you the same? How are you different?

Next, watch the video below to see what other students have learned about the human life cycle.

 

Finally, create a Venn diagram that compares the life cycle of a human to the life cycle of one of the other four living things we have studied in this curriculum web. You may make your diagram on poster board, construction paper, or on the computer and print it. Use this rubric to help you.
