Life Cycles
Beginning February 2010
How do living creatures grow and change? Using up to three adult live animals, we help students explore the variety of life cycles found throughout the living world. Through media resources, students see the differences between egg development, live birth, and metamorphosis. They also get an opportunity to touch assorted skins, bones, and furs at the end of the program, and to get a close look at some juvenile phases.
