Life cycle of a bald eagle foldable sequencing activity and body parts worksheet

Explore the life cycle of the bald eagle with this fun, foldable science activity. A cross between a worksheet and a craft, this hands-on resource will help pupils recall the eagle life cycle from egg, to adult bird.

Use this activity for a bird life cycle or birds of prey lesson, or link it to US history (the bald eagle has been the national bird since 1782).

Benefits of this activity

• Low prep
• Children learn about the eagle life cycle in a fun and hands-on way, that’s a bit different from a standard science worksheet.
• Can be used to introduce the life cycle, or as a review/assessment to check understanding.
• Encourages fine motor/scissor skills, hand-eye coordination (folding), and sequencing.
• Differentiated options
• Finished foldouts can be inserted into an interactive notebook where they can be referenced by children.

What’s included?

• 2 foldout templates (1 with a circle around the outside, the other with a straight cutting edge), plus life cycle stages. There are 2 options for the life cycle stages - 1 with simple words, and the other with descriptions.
• A picture showing where to fold the template
• Versions for both UK and US paper sizes
• A teacher page of eagle life cycle facts
• A full-colour picture of the life cycle for reference
• 2 worksheet options for labeling the body parts of an eagle
