Introduction - MST4.E.LE.4.Introduction:
It is essential for organisms to produce offspring so that their species will continue. Patterns of reproduction, growth, and development of an organism are stages in its life cycle. Life cycle stages are sequential and occur throughout the life span of the organism. The characteristics of the cycle of life vary from organism to organism.
Note: Younger students may have difficulty in recognizing the continuity of life. Using organisms with a short life cycle as examples will be important in getting the concept across. It is important for younger students to observe life cycle changes in selected animals.
