12. Read the following and complete the last sentence.

Chickens lay eggs that develop into adult chickens, butterflies lay eggs that become caterpillars and
eventually butterflies, other insects and plants also lay eggs that become adults. This sequence of changes is
an example of how living things

A build an ecosystem.
B form a food web.
C are a form of energy.
D go through a life cycle.

14. Study the picture below of a baby chick developing inside an egg.

Discuss with a partner what the baby chick may look like on Day 17.
Think about and discuss the following as you study and talk with your partner:

What size will the chick be on day 17?
What physical attributes will the chick have?
