A 60 minute lesson in which students will demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the stages of the human life cycle.
A 60 minute lesson in which students will develop their understanding of the concept of metamorphosis.
A 60 minute lesson in which students will demonstrate knowledge and understanding of simple life cycles.
A 60 minute lesson in which students will plant seeds following the procedure of the scientific method.
