S3.4.1 For the adult
The human life cycle
How does a person change from a baby to an elder, and is a bird the same?
What this chapter teaches
People pass through five stages: baby, child, adolescent, adult and elder. A bird passes through egg, chick, young bird and adult. In both, adults have young, so the cycle goes on.
Three questions to ask
There is no one right wording. Listen for the idea.
- Which stage of life is each person in our home at?
- How is the start of a chick different from the start of a baby?
- Why does a life cycle drawing go from the adult back to the baby?
After the chapter, the learner can
- Put the stages of human life in order, from baby to elder
- Compare the human life cycle with the life cycle of a bird
What they copy into their notebook
A human life goes baby, child, adolescent, adult, elder. Adults can have children, so the cycle goes on. A chick grows in an egg with a shell, outside its mother, and hatches.
