Description

Overview

Looking for an engaging and interactive notes page to teach or review complete and incomplete metamorphosis? This interactive folding notes page is designed to teach students to differentiate between incomplete and complete metamorphosis. It also helps student compare and contrast various types of life cycles including: insects, frogs, birds, and plants. It is important that students understand that all living things have life cycles with distinct forms. The note portion under each tab is fill-in-the-blank. This foldable can be used at lower grade levels as well as in higher grades as a quick review of life cycles. I have used it in an 8th grade classroom but have also given it to 2nd and 3rd grade teachers who teach insect life cycles. I included a key and 3 versions so you can decide which one best fits your student’s needs.
