Let me work through this chicken life cycle problem step by step.
Looking at the cut and paste activity at the bottom, I can see these images:
1. A chick hatching from an egg
2. An egg
3. A hen sitting on a nest (brooding)
4. A small chick
5. An adult chicken/hen
6. A fertilized egg with embryo inside
The life cycle of a chicken follows this order:
1. Adult chicken (hen) lays eggs
2. The egg contains a developing embryo
3. The hen sits on the eggs to keep them warm (incubation/brooding)
4. The chick hatches from the egg
5. The chick grows into a young chicken
6. The young chicken becomes an adult chicken
7. The adult chicken lays more eggs - and the cycle continues
Following the arrows in the diagram clockwise from the top (where there's already an adult chicken drawn):
Starting position: Adult chicken (already shown at top)
Moving clockwise:
1. First box after adult chicken → Egg (the hen lays an egg)
2. Second box → Fertilized egg with embryo (the egg develops)
3. Third box → Hen brooding/sitting on nest (keeping eggs warm)
4. Fourth box → Chick hatching from egg
5. Fifth box → Small chick (just hatched)
6. Sixth box → Young chicken growing up (which then becomes an adult, completing the cycle back to where we started)
Final Answer:
Following the cycle clockwise from the adult chicken at the top:
1.
Egg (laid by the hen)
2.
Fertilized egg with embryo (developing inside)
3.
Hen brooding on nest (keeping eggs warm)
4.
Chick hatching from egg
5.
Small chick (newly hatched)
6.
Young chicken (growing into adult)
