Books with title Life Cycles

In this series that covers all of Earth's key habitats, each book reveals the life cycles of eleven animals which link together to create three different food chains. At the end of the book a simple overview helps readers understand how the three food chains interact to create a food web-the perfect first introduction to this core science concept. The world's forests are rich habitats that support an incredible diversity of life from the smallest insects to amazing predators at the top of the food chain such as the tiger and the red-tailed hawk. Life Cycles: Forest by Sean Callery explores how eleven of these creatures―from temperate forests in Asia, North America, and southern Africa―link together to create three food chains. Children will love the beautiful photography and the clear visual explanations of each stage of each animal's lifecycle. The combination of bright design, clear structure, and appealing wildlife makes this a great introduction to life in forests around the world.

Many insects hatch from eggs and molt several times as they grow bigger. Others, such as butterflies, undergo a complete metamorphosis. A common science curriculum topic, insect life cycles may be confusing because of these differences. However, this book breaks down these cycles into easy-to-understand steps in both accessible language and colorful diagrams readers can turn to for review again and again. The most important vocabulary needed to talk about insect life cycles is further explained in fact boxes and an extended glossary.

This work is for ages 4-8. Following insects from egg to adult, this book outlines the amazing changes different species of insects go through before they become fully-grown. Full-colour photographs and detailed illustrations of insects, from the familiar to the exotic, are featured. Topics include: incomplete and complete metamorphosis; where insects lay their eggs; what growing nymphs and larvae eat; how they find food; how nymphs and larvae protect themselves from predators; how insects moult.

If a picture's worth a thousand words, these 24 science picture cards on Animal Life Cycles are invaluable teaching tools. You get four to six cards for each five animals -- frog, robin, skunk, butterfly, and grasshopper -- that depict steps in their life cycles. Students practice sequencing skills while learning information about the life cycle of an amphibian, a bird, a mammal, and complete and incomplete metamorphosis in insects. Full-color illustrations on card fronts, science information on card backs. Use these cards as a science teaching aid, in a center, or as a bulletin board display. They also make excellent supplements to other Evan-Moor Animal Life Cycle titles, such as EMC #813, Animal Life Cycles -- Mammals & Reptiles.All cards 8-1/2" x 11", printed on durable stock.

This graphic nonfiction book introduces various animal life cycles, including birds, amphibians, butterflies, and mammals. The Building Blocks of Life Science volumes feature whimsical characters to guide young readers through topics exploring animal behavior, the cell cycle, plant and animal life cycles, and much more. The science is as sound as the presentation is fun! The volumes include a glossary, an additional resource list, and an index. Several spreads in each volume are illustrated with photographs to help clarify concepts and facts.

The most astonishing and complex organism on Earth—the human body—is explored in this dynamic new series. A dazzling array of specialized photography and state-of-the-art digital illustrations reveals the secrets of human biology in breathtaking detail. Incorporating the very latest medical research, this groundbreaking series provides a compelling guide to what makes us work, from our heartbeat to brain cells. Feature spreads take an in-depth look at a wide range of subjects, including the invisible creatures that call our skin home and the amazing scanning techniques doctors use to peer inside the body. Each book includes a comprehensive glossary, together with key website links.The story of a human life is awe-inspiring. Life Cycle reveals how genes and chromosomes contain the instructions for life and are responsible for differences that make each of us an individual. Readers will trace the development of a newborn baby as it grows into a toddler, reaches the teens, and changes into an adult. This book explains the male and female reproductive systems and uncovers why these systems are essential in the cycle of life.

Some reptiles lay eggs and some give birth to live young. In this book, readers learn about the reptile life cycle beginning in both ways. The main content gives a simple overview of the steps included in the reptile life cycle accompanied by helpful diagrams to aid readers understanding of this common science curriculum topic. Written with struggling readers in mind, this volume gives explanations in accessible language, which also makes it an excellent source for any reader to review the topic.
