Which animals start their life as an egg? - Worksheet

This educational worksheet is designed to help students understand the reproductive methods of different animals, specifically focusing on those that start their life as an egg. The worksheet is divided into two sections for comparison. One section lists animals that lay eggs, while the other section is reserved for animals that do not lay eggs. The activity encourages children to identify and categorize animals based on whether they are oviparous, meaning they hatch from eggs, or viviparous, giving live birth.

Beyond categorization, the worksheet poses thought-provoking questions about animal behavior and habitat selection. It asks why animals choose the habitats they do, prompting students to think about the environmental factors that influence an animal's reproductive choices and survival. Another key question asks which animals start life as an egg, guiding students to consider the life cycle of various species.
