5. Compare the bird’s life cycle to this flowering plant’s. What differences do you notice?

6. Let’s look at some other life cycles… https://youtu.be/CH_YkA6Deo4 Please click on this link.

7. Today’s task – part 1 Create a life cycle for an amphibian (e.g. frog, toad, newt), in a similar style to the life cycle of the bird and plant. You can use the information from the video, your knowledge and own research, and the link on the next slide to help you. Please use scientific vocabulary e.g. tadpole, gills, froglet, adult and illustrate it.

8. Amphibian life cycle – additional resource https://www.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wildlife/natures-home-magazine/birds-and-wildlife-articles/features/tadpole-tale/

9. Today’s task – part 2. Now compare the amphibian life cycle to that of a mammal. What differences and similarities are there?
