Develop and use models to describe changes that organisms go through during their life cycles. Emphasize that organisms have unique and diverse life cycles but follow a pattern of birth, growth, reproduction, and death. Examples of changes in life cycles could include how some plants and animals look different at different stages of life or how other plants
and animals only appear to change size in their life.

This is a list of potential ideas based off a specific technology. None of these ideas are fully developed lessons. Please make changes and adaptations as necessary for the students in your class.

This is a third grade science lesson for SEEd standard 3.2.1.  Students create a model to show changes over time during the life cycle of a Monarch butterfly.

Students investigate what it means to be alive. Students sort items into three categories: living, nonliving, or once living. Yeast and cornmeal are similar looking powders and students will conduct an experiment to see if either powder is alive. A terrarium is used to demonstrate to students that living, nonliving, and once living materials all interact in an ecosystem.

This is an interactive, third-grade Nearpod lesson tied to SEEd standard 3.2.1. It guides students through information and activities about changes that organisms go through during their life cycles.
This resource is a student-ready, three-dimensional SEEd science lesson you can add to your Nearpod library. Many of the phenomena, text, and images come from UEN OER textbooks, Seedstorylines.org, ck12.org, and pixabay.com. Most videos are from youtube.com or pbslearningmedia.org. Many of the simulations were found at phet.colorado.edu, ck12.org, and pbslearningmedia.org. This lesson is unique to Nebo School District but was built with the help of many amazing ideas from teachers throughout Utah.

Student facing NearPod lessons for the SEEdStoryLines.Students will develop a model that shows patterns within the life cycle of a butterfly.

Student facing NearPod lessons for the SEEdStoryLines. Students obtain information to develop a model and construct an explanation of the patterns of change that organisms go through.

3rd Grade SEEd textbook for the 2022-2023 school year. This textbook was developed to align to the Utah Science with Engineering Education (SEEd) Standards. (Added: June 8, 2022)
