Learning Targets
- I can identify the main stages of an organism’s life cycle (birth, growth, reproduction, death). #dok1
- I can describe the sequence of events in an organism’s life cycle. #dok2
- I can compare how different organisms have unique and diverse life cycles. #dok2
- I can develop a model that shows the life cycle stages of an organism. #dok2
Big Ideas
- Most living organisms share the same basic life cycle stages: birth, growth, reproduction, and death.
- There is diversity among organisms in the details and processes of their life cycles.
Essential Questions
- What are the main stages in the life cycle of an organism?
- How are the life cycles of different organisms similar and different?
- Why is it important for all organisms to go through birth, growth, reproduction, and death?
- In what ways do models help us understand the life cycles of organisms?
- How can observing life cycles help us learn more about living things?
