ABOUT THIS GAME
This NGSS-aligned word sort activity focuses on comparing and contrasting the life cycles of insects and birds. Students sort 12 developmental stages and characteristics into two categories: Insect Changes and Bird Changes. The activity highlights both the unique aspects of each group's life cycle and the universal patterns they share. Through this classification exercise, students develop a deeper understanding of how different animals undergo various transformations while following the basic pattern of birth, growth, reproduction, and death
