OBJECTIVES
The SIM aims to:
1. Identify the stages in the life cycle of some
animals
2. Describe the changes in animals as they develop
and grow
3. Name animals that undergo complete and
incomplete metamorphosis
4. Show enthusiasm in doing activities in the SIM

Guide Card
Animals grow and
develop in many
different ways. Some
animals are born alive
so they look like their
parents when they are
born. Some animals do
not. These animals
undergo changes
before they look like
their parent animals.
Would you like to find
out how some animals
develop and grow? Well,
go on and discover how
these animals change
as they grow!

Reference Card
Animals are living things. Living things can
produce their own kind through the process of
reproduction.
Some animals are hatched from egg. Other
animals are born alive. They look like their parents
when they are born.
But there are young animals which look very
different from their parent animals. These animals
undergo changes before they look like their parent
animals.
The changes that these animals undergo from
the time they are laid as eggs to the time they can
reproduce is called life cycle.
They start as eggs, then they become larvae,
then pupa and finally they become adult.
These animals undergo either complete or
incomplete metamorphosis. Metamorphosis is the
changes or stages which take place during the life cycle
of some animals.
Complete metamorphosis has four stages: egg,
larva, pupa and adult. The butterfly, mosquito and fly
have complete metamorphosis.
Incomplete metamorphosis has three stages:
egg, young and adult. The grasshopper and cockroach
follow incomplete metamorphosis.

First of all there is Blue. Later there is White,
and then there is Black, and before the
beginning there is Brown...Brown taught him
the ropes, and when Brown grew old, Blue took
over.
