Photocopy of Labels’ ‘Lots Lesson Steps Review previous lessons using the class science journal and word wall. Review the Agree/ Disagree charts from Lesson 1 and ask students if they agree with their original ideas or if they would like to change their mind. Discuss with students why they changed their mind and that learning is about developing new ideas. Explain that students will be working in collaborative learning teams to show what they have learnt by creating a 3D model of the life stages of an animal. Explain that it can be either a Cotton bollworm or one of the animals they have looked at previously. Ask students to create a model of each of the life stages of the living thing they choose. Discuss the importance of accuracy when creating models, for example, if the living thing has grown bigger than the model also needs to bigger than the previous stage.
