Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Name the four stages of the chicken life cycle in order: egg, embryo, chick, chicken
Recognize that a life cycle repeats by following the stages around a circular diagram
Teaching tips
Display the chart page during a spring or hatching unit and have students point through the four stages aloud, starting from the egg
Use the student page as an individual follow-up after whole-class work with the chart — the name and date header makes it easy to collect as a quick check
Close by asking what comes after the chicken stage; the circular layout lets students discover that the cycle starts over with a new egg
