Continue the Year 5 unit on 'living things and their habitats' with this lesson on how animal life cycles are different.

In this Year 5 PowerPoint, pupils will learn about how and why animals have different lifespans. This then leads into discussion around life cycles, with examples of unusual life cycles from the animal kingdom such as kangaroos, seahorses and clownfish. For their tasks, children will research other unusual life cycles then investigate the lifespan of different animals.
