Life cycle of an earthworm foldable craft activity

Are you looking for a fun way to teach life cycles? This foldout is an engaging and hands-on activity alternative to a worksheet to introduce or review the life cycle of an earthworm. The resource covers four stages - cocoon, hatchling, juvenile and adult worm.

Use as a science craft (linked to bugs, soil, or life cycles), for an interactive science notebook, or alongside making your own wormery.

There are different template and label options to allow for differentiation if required:

• Template 1: Children colour the template and life cycle stages, arrange the stages in order, glue, cut and fold.
• Template 2: As above but with a straight cutting edge
• Template 3: Children colour the template and life cycle stages, write the names (or descriptions) of the stages in the boxes, cut and fold.
• Template 4: As above but with a straight cutting edge

Also included:

• Full-page earthworm life cycle diagram
• Label the earthworm worksheet and answer page
• Earthworms ‘can, have, are’ worksheet

UK and US paper sizes included.
