The Life Cycle of Insects with Metamorphosis (DIGITAL DOWNLOAD)

Develop models to describe that organisms have unique and diverse life cycles but all have in common birth, growth, reproduction, and death.

Lesson Brief: Different groups of animals have different life cycles. All animals are born, develop into the adult stage, reproduce, and eventually die. Within the insect group of animals there are two main types of life cycle. The more ancient types of insects have direct development, while the more modern insects have indirect development and go through metamorphosis. This lesson and the accompanying model cover the life cycle of insects that go through metamorphosis.
