Life Cycles Kit

This Discovery Kit has been put together to help teachers cover the topic of life cycles with their students. The Activity Pack is designed to cover the following areas of the curriculum:

• Explore and compare the differences between things that are living, dead and things that have never been alive
• Observe and describe show seeds and bulbs grow into mature plants
• Notice that animals, including humans, have offspring which grow into adults
• Explore the part that flowers play in the life cycle of flowering plants, including pollination, seed formation and seed dispersal
• Describe the differences in the life cycles of a mammal, an amphibian, an insect and a bird

The Activity Pack provided below contains a variety of activities, suitable for inside and outside the classroom environment. Some of the activities use the apparatus provided in the Discovery Kit, but others are stand alone and can be carried out with basic classroom equipment. We encourage you to use the Activity Pack to plan your lessons before the Kit arrives, to make maximum use of the time you have the equipment in school.
