Let’s solve this step by step.
We are looking at two life cycles: one for a frog and one for a butterfly. The task is to put the stages in the correct order using the words: BORN, GROW, REPRODUCE, DIE.

First, let’s look at the frog life cycle:
The images show:
1. eggs →
2. tadpole →
3. froglet →
4. adult frog → (then back to eggs)
So what happens?
-
BORN: When the egg hatches into a tadpole — that’s being born.
-
GROW: Tadpole grows into froglet, then into adult frog — that’s growing.
-
REPRODUCE: Adult frogs lay eggs — that’s reproducing.
-
DIE: Eventually, after reproducing, the adult frog dies (though not shown, it’s part of every life cycle).
So for the frog, the order should be:
→ BORN (tadpole from egg)
→ GROW (to froglet to adult)
→ REPRODUCE (adult lays eggs)
→ DIE (end of life)
But note: the diagram shows “eggs” as the start, but biologically, the animal is “born” when it hatches from the egg. So “eggs” = before birth. “Tadpole” = born.
---
Now the butterfly life cycle:
Images show:
1. eggs on leaf →
2. larva (caterpillar) →
3. chrysalis →
4. adult butterfly
Same logic:
-
BORN: When the egg hatches into larva (caterpillar).
-
GROW: Larva eats and grows, then becomes chrysalis (still growing/changing), then emerges as adult.
-
REPRODUCE: Adult butterfly lays eggs.
-
DIE: After laying eggs, the adult butterfly dies.
So again:
→ BORN (larva from egg)
→ GROW (to chrysalis to adult)
→ REPRODUCE (adult lays eggs)
→ DIE

Wait — the worksheet has two separate sets of boxes.
Top set (green text):
□ REPRODUCE
□ BORN
□ DIE
□ GROW
This seems to be asking you to number them 1 to 4 in the correct order for the frog cycle.
Bottom set (red text):
□ BORN
□ REPRODUCE
□ GROW
□ DIE
And below that are the butterfly stages: eggs, larva, chrysalis, adult butterfly.
So probably:
For the
frog (top green list), we need to assign numbers 1–4 to match the life cycle order.
Life cycle order for any animal:
1. Born (hatch from egg)
2. Grow (develop into adult)
3. Reproduce (make next generation)
4. Die
So for the top green list:
- BORN → 1
- GROW → 2
- REPRODUCE → 3
- DIE → 4
So the boxes should be numbered:
□ 3 REPRODUCE
□ 1 BORN
□ 4 DIE
□ 2 GROW
---
For the bottom red list (butterfly):
Same order applies!
- BORN → when larva hatches from egg → 1
- GROW → larva to chrysalis to adult → 2
- REPRODUCE → adult lays eggs → 3
- DIE → end → 4
So:
□ 1 BORN
□ 3 REPRODUCE
□ 2 GROW
□ 4 DIE

Let me double-check with the diagrams.
Frog:
- Eggs → not yet born
- Tadpole → born (so BORN = 1)
- Froglet → still growing
- Adult frog → fully grown, now can reproduce → so GROW ends here, then REPRODUCE
- Then die → DIE = 4
Yes.
Butterfly:
- Eggs → not born yet
- Larva → born (BORN = 1)
- Chrysalis → still growing/transforming
- Adult → ready to reproduce → so GROW = 2, REPRODUCE = 3, DIE = 4
Perfect.
Final Answer:
Top (green) boxes:
- REPRODUCE → 3
- BORN → 1
- DIE → 4
- GROW → 2
Bottom (red) boxes:
- BORN → 1
- REPRODUCE → 3
- GROW → 2
- DIE → 4
