Concept Map

Organise the vocabulary, quantities and relationships into a connected model.

This extension applies that lens specifically to The Life Cycles of Animals.

Animals have life cycles too. They begin life in one of two ways:

  • Some animals are born as live young — for example goats, dogs, cows and people. The mother gives birth to a baby.
  • Other animals hatch from eggs — for example chickens, birds, frogs, snakes and insects.

After starting, the young grow into adults, and the adults reproduce to make the next generation. Some young look like small versions of their parents (a puppy already looks like a little dog). Others look completely different at first: a frog begins as an egg, hatches into a tadpole that swims with a tail, becomes a froglet, and finally grows into an adult frog.
