Different kinds of life cycle cards, showing in a series of pictures for the life cycle of a flower, a tree, a fish, a bird, a frog, ... etc.
Each picture may be accompanied by a brief caption.
The life cycles may be:
- Linear, like a time line. This is particularly appropriate for showing birth to death life cycles.
- Circular, which is good for showing annual life cycles of plants, and for showing the migration and hibernation patterns of animals.
