Available only to premium members
EASYTEACHING.NET
Overview:
Build a spinning wheel to demonstrate the life cycle of a chicken, designed for early and middle years students.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the stages of a chicken’s life cycle.
- Identify key stages such as egg, chick, juvenile, and adult chicken.
- Develop an understanding of the chicken life cycle and its relevance to nature.
How the Activity Works:
Students will cut out both sheets and poke a hole through the centre point of each wheel. They will then use a drawing pin to fasten the wheels together, creating a spinning wheel that displays the different stages of a chicken’s life cycle. As they assemble the wheel, they will arrange the stages of the life cycle in the correct order. This hands-on activity allows students to visually engage with the life cycle of a chicken, reinforcing their understanding of chicken growth in an interactive and fun way.
