LI: (1) to describe the differences in the life cycles of a mammal (2) how mammals reproduce (3) to use research to answers questions |
When you see ‘heading’ or ‘subheading’ in blue, please write them into your book when you get to that section – this will help to organise your work.
Science: life cycles of mammals (main heading)
Session 1: Recap Subheading: What are mammals? How can we identify them from their key features?
List the key features of mammals in your book underneath this subheading
Subheading: What is the life cycle of a mammal?
Try to include: - the four stages: embryo, infant (baby), adolescent and adult - key facts, including changes which occur at each stage
Session 2: Subheading: How do mammals reproduce?
Think about the following questions: How do they give birth? How long is their gestation period? What size are their babies?
TASK (read everything, including the challenges, before you begin!):
- Gestation period, - Number of young - Height/length at birth - Average height/length of adults - Weight at birth - Average weight of adult - Life expectancy
Challenges (see top trump templates below): CH1 – complete top trump cards for data in Mammals Data Bank CH2 – add additional cards for animals you have researched Ch3 – as above plus add additional features/interesting facts to each of your animals |
