·
In many animals like frog,
butterfly etc. the eggs don’t hatch directly into young ones. First, the egg
hatches into larva and then the larva grows into new animal
·
The female butterfly lays a
tiny egg on the underside of a leaf. The egg hatches into a worm-like larva,
called caterpillar. The caterpillar grows and encloses itself in a hard
structure. This stage is called pupa. The structures of adult butterfly are formed
inside pupa. After that, the butterfly comes out of the hard structure of pupa.

Material / Resources
Pictures of egg, Chick and hen, posters /
pictures of the life cycle stages of frog, butterfly, textbook
Worm up Activity
·
Show the pictures of egg,
chick and hen (if available) or otherwise write the names (egg, chick and hen)
on the board.
·
Ask students to point out the
sequence of stages present in these pictures.
·
Ask, “Can you describe the
stages of your life”? Guide students to compare the above mentioned stages with
the stages of their own lives i.e. toddler, teenager and adult.
·
Discuss the term “life cycle”
with the students
Development
Activity 1
·
Explain them the life cycle
of butterfly: it starts from egg, then larva forms, larva changes to pupa and
finally a beautiful butterfly comes out from pupa.
·
Prepare cards with LARVA,
BUTTERFLY, PUPA, EGG and ask a few students to come up and put the life cycle
cards in order.
Sum up / Conclusion
·
A living organism passes through a series of
changes from its birth to the time it produces its next generation. This series
of changes is called the life cycle of organism.
·
In the life cycle of
butterfly, larva is produced from eggs.
·
In the life cycle of butterfly
larva changes to pupa.
Assessment
·
Ask the students to write in
circles the number of the stages of butterfly’s life cycle and to write of the names
of the stages.
·
Draw a line-diagram on board
and ask the students to identify the life cycles and labels the mentioned
stages. Ask them to draw the missing stages, too
Follow up
·
Ask the students to link the
characteristics given below the diagrams of butterfly.
