Question types: Put in order

Rule: Life cycles

Frog: egg (frogspawn) → tadpole → froglet → adult frog. Butterfly: egg → caterpillar → pupa → butterfly.

Plant: seed → seedling → plant → flower → fruit with seeds.

Example: Hen: egg → chick → hen

Watch out: A tadpole is not a frog yet: it breathes through gills and has no legs, they grow later.
