These fun accordion foldable activities are a lovely addition to interactive science notebooks and support learning around spring, seasonal changes and life cycles. They are a cross between a worksheet and a craft activity! This resource is a bundle of 4 life cycle template sets - frog, bean, daffodil and chicken. Each foldout breaks down the life cycle into 4 or 6 parts. There are options to simply colour the template, cut out and fold (and insert into a notebook if required). Alternatively, there is also an option to add a step of ordering the life cycle stages and gluing them onto the template. Pupils could complete a foldout, then research the animal/plant they have chosen to find out more about the stages of its life cycle (e.g. the length of each stage). Guidance for this is not included. Please note, it is not possible to edit these templates.
