Use this resource with clear, true-to-life illustrations to help children understand the unique body structure, life cycle, and classification of sponges. This pack is an excellent supplement for the Second Great Lesson: The Coming of Life, as sponges were among the first animals to appear on Earth over 600 million years ago. Studying Porifera helps children understand the earliest stages of animal evolution and the development of specialized cells.

Children will learn the external parts of a sponge (osculum, pores, body, spicules), the sponge life cycle (sperm cells, embryo, larva, juvenile, adult), and key characteristics of the four main classes of sponges. Activities include diagram labeling, 3-part cards, tracing and writing worksheets, information cards with fill-in-the-blank options, cut-and-paste worksheets, and student booklets.
