This comprehensive word sort activity helps Grade 3 students understand the universal stages of life cycles as outlined in NGSS standard 3-LS1-1. Students categorize 12 biological processes into four fundamental life cycle stages: Birth/Beginning, Growth/Development, Reproduction, and Death/End. The activity emphasizes how different organisms share common life cycle patterns while demonstrating unique characteristics. This classification exercise helps students recognize the cyclical nature of life processes and the similarities across diverse organisms.
