Editor's Notes
Good morning and welcome to a new Science class. Today we are going to talk about LIFE CYCLES!!!!
Look at this picture…what do you see?? Well, you see how a plant grows.You know that a plant is a LIVING THING. Look at the way it grows: First you see the seed, next you can see how the leaves grow and it becomes a small tree, then it keeps growing to be a mature tree. The mature tree has fruits as you can see, and in the fruit there are seeds. The seed falls in the ground and soon a new tree will start growing. That is what we call a life cycle!
As we know, not only plants are living things. Animals and people are also living things. Every living thing has to complete a LIFE CYCLE!
Look at the picture of this dog. First, the dog is born…that means it is a baby. Next, the dog grows to be a young puppy. Then the dog becomes an adult. Later this dog REPRODUCES, so she becomes a mommy and has puppies and last..the dog dies. This means that all living things go through this cycle: 1st- We are born. Next- we grow up. Then, we reproduce. Finally- we die.
Let´s see if this happens to people too: We said that first we are born. Is that right? Yes, of course….we are born and we become babies. Next- we grow up….that is correct, too and we become first a child, then a teenager and then an adult. When we are adults, we reproduce…that means we have babies We grow old and we finally die. That means that from the moment a living thing is born, it continues growing and changing. That is called a LIFE CYCLE.
Now….Do you remember what we have learned today ? Can you answer these questions? Let´s see…… Do all living things have a life cycle? Yes, of course! What is the cycle of life¿ Well, all living things have a life cycle…first living things are born, then living things grow, later living things reproduce and last living things die. Can yo order the stages in HUMAN life cycle? Look at the stages and try to order them…..well, first you are a baby, next you become a child, then you are an adult and finally you are elder.
It´s been great to be with you today. I´m sure you will never forget what life cycles are. Good bye!
