This week we continued our explorations of Life Cycles by learning about the life cycle of a human, beginning with the embryo and growing to adulthood:
We compared and contrasted the life cycles of various living things, including amphibians, insects and plants. We discussed how some "babies" look very similar in shape/body parts to the adult version, such as mammals, while others (such as frogs) look very different as they grow.

Life cycle of a bean plant:
Life cycle of a frog:
We also took a look at animal mother and their babies, and noticed how some change in color of feathers or fur, and other babies look like a miniature version of the mother! We had several children out sick or who needed to leave early on Friday afternoon, so if you would like to show the slideshow we viewed to your child, please follow this link:
