ABSTRACT

This chapter describes the differences in the life cycles of a mammal, an amphibian, an insect and a bird. It also describes the life process of reproduction in some plants and animals. The chapter describes scientific procedures and clear instructions that outline the simple equipment required for carrying out each procedure. It provides National Curriculum assessment indicators and illustrates how to carry out the primary science experiments and what results to expect. Suggestions for adapting each procedure or activity to the special needs and interests of the students are discussed.
