Cycles of Life This site looks at both animals and plants. Students need to put each stage in order and as they do information pops up describing what is happening. This would be good on the interactive whiteboard or done individually on the computer

KidCyber There is lots of information about many different topics. Choose animals, then frogs to find out about their life-cycle.

Topmarks IWB resources - have a look through, the life cycle of a frog below comes from this list....

Life cycle of a frog - A fantastic resource from Topmarks, you can choose from two versions Key Stage 1 [KS1] and Key Stage 2 [KS2]. I think for our students year 1 & ESL would use KS1 and year 2 KS2. This is part of **All about Spring** resources, be aware it is British so the dates are different - a discussion point if you want to go there! It also deals with baby animals, nesting birds and plants in Spring.

kidsbutterflies.org has some great photographs clearly showing each stage of the life-cycle.

Ladybug life-cycle

Chickscope This is great. It has a drawing of what a chick looks like inside the egg each day. When you click on an egg it gives a little bit of information and a photograph of what it looks like, sometimes this is a labeled ultrasound picture -excellent!

Life cycle of a sea turtle - drawn pictures and easy to read captions

Life cycle of a seed powerpoint, simple example of what can be done :-)

Forming embryos from PBS short little clips showing how humans, pigs, chickens and fish develop!
