Books with title Life Cycles

Designed specially for young independent readers, aged between 6 and 8, the "Perspective" collection combines core non-fiction features - including an emphasis on research skill - with a visual design that encourages readers to look at these topics in a different way. "Life Cycles" books follow the life of an animal or plant as it changes. In some cycles there is a dramatic change, such as that from caterpillar to butterfly. In others the changes is gradual but no less fascinating, as when the book covers such familiar animals as dogs and cats.

What hatches out of frogspawn? Do reptiles lay eggs? What kind of baby animal drinks milk? 'Investigate' encourages science enquiry with an interactive, investigative, and visual approach to a wide range of core curriculum topics. The format allows students to use scientific processes such as prediction, hypothesis, and inference in answering a series of questions on important topics throughout the book.

Plants, insects, snakes, salmon, eagles, elephants, humans; these living things all pass through a life cycle from birth to adulthood. Examine moth cocoons, the feather gills of a salamander larva, beaver yearlings, and more to discover how each life cycle is different and unique! Colorful images and fun facts paired with age-appropriate text will keep third-grade students engaged from the beginning to the end of this e-book! Featuring a hands-on "Think Like a Scientist" lab activity that is aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards, this e-book helps students apply what they've learned in the text and supports STEM instruction. Helpful diagrams and text features, such as a glossary and index, are also included to improve content-area literacy.

Life Cycles introduces how animals' lives can be very different, from 70-year-old elephants to adult mayflies that only live a few hours. It also looks at similarities too, such as how comparing a cuckoo and a cheetah illustrates how many animal parts are similar. Readers will gain a basic understanding of animal life cycles as they read about examples from all over the world.
