How do live lessons work?
Live lessons are interactive slides and course outlines that are used to teach Treeway Live Classes. Click on the arrows to navigate backward and forwards through the slides.
How Do I Use the Lesson Plans?
Read this lesson plan before class to familiarize yourself with the ideas and concepts you’ll be teaching the students. You may print this page out if you need to use it as a reference point during live classes.
This lesson is a guide, but feel free to expand on the content or decrease/increase what you teach depending on the learning levels of the students in your class or the amount of time you have to cover the material.
Can I show videos in live classes?
Yes, feel free to include additional material to supplement the class lesson material. Videos, Physical Objects, Games, Activities, etc. are okay to share in live classes.
Videos should have no advertisements or logos and should be viewed by you before showing them to the students to ensure no offensive or questionable content is included.
The video should make up only a small portion of the live class.
How do bookmarks work?
Bookmarks help you keep track of lessons you’re going to teach in future live classes. The bookmarks you see are for all your bookmarked lessons across all grades.
You can bookmark a lesson by visiting the lesson you want to bookmark and clicking the “bookmark” button in the bookmark section.
You can remove a single bookmark by visiting a lesson you’ve bookmarked and clicking the “bookmark” button again to unbookmark it.
You can clear all of your bookmarks by clicking the “clear all bookmarks” button. Be careful, this will erase all of your bookmarks.

Class Summary
Reinforcing the science lesson that teaches an understanding of what a life cycle is is and how animals and all living things change and grow. Students should leave the class feeling comfortable with the concept that Jehovah made living things to change and they should recognize the order and pattern of a life cycle.
Lesson Slide
Main Teaching Points
- A cycle is a type of pattern that repeats over and over again. Life cycles are patterns of growing that repeat over and over again.
- Jehovah made animals and all living things to grow and change. First a caterpillar hatched from a egg. A caterpillar is a baby butterfly. The caterpillar grows and changes. The caterpillar will soon grow into an adolescent. The caterpillar hangs upside down from a twig or leaf and makes a cocoon. The young caterpillar will continue to grow and change inside the cocoon until finally it becomes an adult and leaves the cocoon as a beautiful butterfly.
- Other animals also have similar life cycle patterns. They are born as babies, they become adolescents and finally they become adult animals. This is their life cycle.
Discussion Questions
- Can people grow and change?
- Can animals grow and change?
- Can rocks grow and change?
In-Class Activities

Bring a toy: In the class description, instruct the parents to have the students prepare for this class by bringing their favorite toy. Call on students to show their favorite toy and tell the class why it is their favorite.
