Educational worksheet on life cycles for children, showing how plants and animals change through different stages.

1. The text explains that plants and animals go through different stages as they grow, which are called life cycles.
2. It gives the example of a butterfly, which starts as an egg, hatches into a caterpillar, becomes a chrysalis (cocoon), and finally hatches as a butterfly — a process called metamorphosis.
3. It also describes how frogs change from eggs to tadpoles to adults, another example of metamorphosis.
4. For plants, it states they start as seeds, grow roots, then stems and leaves, and later flower or make fruit, which is their way of reproducing and continuing the life cycle.
