Blog Week 3

 This week during lab, we learned about the key factors of life cycles and how they work. The characteristics of a life cycle include distinct stages and lengths of these stages that vary between species. Reproduction: a key component of many life cycles, as it allows the continuation of a species. Development: Life cycles often involve charges in physical characteristics, such as growth and maturation, as well as changes in behavior and habits. Adaptation: life cycles can be influenced by environmental factors. Pattern: all life cycles follow the basic pattern of birth, growth, reproduction, and death

We created our own life cycles using play dough and my partner and I did the life cycle of a frog:

We also planted our Fast Plants to see if there is growth by next week's lab. This would be a great activity to do with my future students, because it was very engaging and promotes a lot of learning!
