**Come on a Morph-O-Cycle Ride!!! **



As a motorcycle rolls along the road with its wheels turning and turning, so do the life cycles of different animals. It is important to understand that like the wheels of a motorcycle that go around and around, animals go through their life cycle "wheels" repeating them over and over with each new offspring. The species life cycle "wheels" go around and around. But not all animals ride on the same road! Every animals' life cycle is different for their species. Today we will get to see and explore all the pot holes of two such animals. The animals we are exploring today go through a process called metamorphosis. This means that the animal's body goes through a complete change from birth to adulthood. In fact, today's animals go through several complete changes! We are going to explore four different stages of that each of our animals go through. Guess what? Today, you will get to be the teachers! Working in your cooperative group, you will become the experts on a stage of two new animals: the frog and the butterfly. Using the text, internet or any other credible source, your group will be responsible for finding out things that are the same and different about the frog's and the butterfly's life cycles. Each group will be assigned the SAME stage for both species. For instance, if your group is assigned the second stage, they will be responsible for finding out information for both the tadpole and the larva stages. In your voice thread, please state two facts about your stage recording on both the frog and butterfly pages. Talking about your stages differences and similarities between the butterfly and the frog will look very impressive and the teacher will reward your efforts with extra credit!
