Drawing Life Cycle Diagrams
绘制生命周期图
Description
Draw and interpret life cycle diagrams for flowering plants, insects (complete and incomplete metamorphosis), birds, and mammals — labelling stages, describing transitions, and comparing cycles across species
Mastery Evidence
- Draw a labelled life cycle diagram for a flowering plant including seed, seedling, mature plant, and flower/fruit
- Compare a butterfly life cycle (complete metamorphosis) with a grasshopper life cycle (incomplete metamorphosis) using diagrams
- Label a blank life cycle diagram for a given organism correctly, including transitions between stages
Assessment Prompt
If your child is given a blank circular diagram, can they fill in the stages of a butterfly's life cycle in the right order with labels — and explain what changes at each stage?
