What is a life cycle? How are life cycles alike and different in different plants and animals?	Related to 6B(K-2)#1: All animals have offspring, usually with two parents involved. ~~People may prevent some animals from producing offspring.~~	Class discussion about the life cycles of living things (See Procedure Steps 1-3 on pages 93-94 and Figure 12-2 on page 94 of Teacher’s Guide.)	Do students apply what they have learned about life cycles of butterflies to new situations? Do students compare the life cycle of butterflies to the life cycle of humans and other animals or plants? Do students know that life comes from living things?
