These foldable cut-and-paste sequencing activities are a fun way to review the life cycle of a plant with your students and are an engaging alternative to a worksheet. This bundle contains differentiated PDF templates for 4 different plant life cycles - pumpkin, apple tree, bean plant, and sunflower. Benefits of this activity Low prep Children learn about the life cycle in a fun and hands-on way, that’s a bit different from a standard science worksheet. Can be used to introduce the life cycle, or as a review/assessment to check understanding. Encourages fine motor/scissor skills, hand-eye coordination (folding), and sequencing. Differentiated options allow for multiple age ranges or abilities to do the same activity. Finished foldouts can be inserted into an interactive notebook where they can be referenced by children. Multiple template options For each plant, you'll find at least 3 options (e.g. students color, cut, and fold the template, or students sequence the life cycle stages before cutting and folding). The finished foldouts are ideal for interactive science notebooks or as part of a lap book. Use them to support life cycle, plants, or seasonal changes units, as a science center, or as a homework activity for parents to complete with their children. Are these resources editable? Please note, the templates are not editable. Instructions for students are provided including guidance on how to fold. Younger children may need extra support with cutting and folding.
