Before we dive into the life cycle of ducks, let’s spark our curiosity and set the stage for our exploration!
Gather the students around and begin with a captivating story that introduces the protagonist—a duck named Daisy. Use an engaging and animated tone to draw the children in:
Once upon a time in a lush green meadow, there lived a little duckling named Daisy. Every morning, she would waddle around the pond, quacking and splashing water everywhere. But Daisy was not just any duck! She was about to embark on a grand adventure—the journey of growing up!
Today, we will follow Daisy as she experiences the different stages of life from a tiny egg to a lovely adult duck. Have you ever wondered how ducks transform through each stage? Let’s find out together!
After sharing the story, prompt the students with exciting questions to brainstorm ideas about the life cycle of ducks:
Now that we have excited the students about Daisy's adventure, explain that they will be learning about the actual stages she goes through, including:
Encourage the students to think about each stage as they prepare to dive deeper into the natural science of duck life cycles.
Let the students know that they will have an opportunity later to create their own duck life cycle diagrams and possibly get crafty with some arts and crafts!
By weaving storytelling with engaging questions, students will feel connected and intrigued right from the start, setting a positive tone for the day's lesson on the duck life cycle.
