Complete & Incomplete metamorphosis (Life cycles)

Learn about complete and incomplete metamorphosis, the different stages in an organism's life cycle, and how to identify them. Explore examples such as the life cycle of a tomato plant, frog, butterfly, beetle, radish, and lima bean. Then, apply your knowledge to identify the life cycles of various insects and explain how you know whether they are complete or incomplete.

  8. Eggthe first stage in the life cycle of many organisms, including birds, amphibians, reptiles, fish and insects

  9. Larvathe small, worm-like stage in the life cycle of some insects

  10. Pupathe stage in the life cycle of some insects when the organism changes from larva to an adult

  11. Adulta full grown animal or plant

  12. Nymphlarva stage of certain insects that undergo incomplete metamorphosis and resembles a smaller version of the adult

  13. Let’s look at some life cycles in nature!Here is a picture of the life cycle of a tomato plant.Would this be considered a complete or incomplete metamorphosis?

  14. Here is the life cycle of a frog.Is this life cycle a complete or incomplete life cycle?Remember, look at the baby?Does it look like the adult??

  15. Let’s compare the life cycle of a butterfly, beetle, radish, lima beanWhat do you notice?

  16. It is very important that you know the difference between complete and incomplete metamorphosis of insects.

  17. Your teacher is going to give you alist of Insects on a lab sheet.One by one you will look at pictures ofthe life cycles of each insect that islisted on your sheet.You are to determine whether the life cycleiscomplete or incomplete.Then, you are to write“How you Know”what type of life cycle each insect goes thru.******Complete: The baby does not look like the adult.Incomplete: the baby looks like the adult
