This hard worksheet challenges second graders to think carefully about life cycle order and details. Part A has four multiple-choice questions, including identifying the correct order of butterfly stages and what tadpoles grow first. Part B follows with five fill-in-the-blank questions about chrysalises, where frogs lay eggs, and what plants need to grow.
Together these activities test both vocabulary and the cause-and-effect reasoning behind each life cycle stage.
