Life Cycles
Description
The life cycles of plants, animals, and humans are studied close-up in this outstanding biology program. Narrated film action scenes show plant and animal reproduction, then show the budding of leaves, and the emergence of baby chicks from their shell. The growth stage depicts a caterpillar's metamorphosis into a butterfly, and a tadpole's emergence as a frog. Mature penguins, sheep, ducks, and baboons forage for food, while plants drink in sunlight and humans find their food at the supermarket! Decomposing fruit and bread are used as examples of how the final life cycle, death, produces new life-in these cases, bacteria and mold.
