About Life Cycles Line-Up

Put stages of animal, plant and human growth in order, then see the completed cycle as a wheel. Correct answers can trigger celebrations. Feedback and retry options depend on the game.

Curriculum purpose

Learning objective: Describe how living things grow and change, and recognise that many life cycles repeat.

Curriculum anchor: England science programmes of study: animals including humans, plants, and living things and their habitats.

This game is designed as short independent practice after an idea has been introduced. It does not replace direct teaching, mathematical or scientific discussion, or an adult checking whether the learner can explain the idea away from the screen.

For parents and carers

Ask what changes at each stage and why a cycle is a better model than a straight line for the organism shown. Take a break when you need one.
