Teacher Notes (not visible to students)

Your students will need to have learned about/have knowledge of various cycles in nature including: daytime and nighttime on Earth, the four seasons, life cycles of plants and trees, life cycles of chickens, frogs, and butterflies, the water cycle, and different types of clouds. This activity is specifically designed to be a review for 2nd grade CKLA Knowledge Unit 6: Cycles in Nature. It could also be used and aligned if you teach this content in other areas. It could be completed together as a whole-class review, or independently to see what your students know.
