Let’s solve this step by step.
This is a worksheet about the life cycle of an ant. The student needs to fill in the blanks with the correct words from the word bank at the bottom:
Queen, Eggs, Larvae, Pupa, Worker (ant), Drone (male ant)
Looking at the diagram:
1. At the top right, there’s a large ant — that’s the
Queen. She lays eggs.
2. The eggs are shown as small oval shapes — label them
Eggs.
3. From the eggs come worm-like creatures — those are
Larvae.
4. Then the larvae turn into a cocoon-like stage — that’s the
Pupa.
5. From the pupa, adult ants emerge. There are two types shown:
- One is a regular worker ant — that’s the
Worker (ant).
- The other is a winged male ant — that’s the
Drone (male ant).
The arrows show the cycle: Queen → Eggs → Larvae → Pupa → Worker or Drone → back to Queen (since drones mate with queens).
So matching each blank to the correct term:
- Top left blank (next to eggs):
Eggs
- Middle left blank (worm-like stage):
Larvae
- Bottom left blank (small ant):
Worker (ant)
- Right side blank (cocoon stage):
Pupa
- Top right blank (large ant):
Queen
- Bottom right blank (winged ant):
Drone (male ant)
All terms from the word bank are used once.
Final Answer:
Eggs, Larvae, Worker (ant), Pupa, Queen, Drone (male ant)
