My essential question is how life cycles affect my world. Inquiry based learning is so important for this question. The students can talk and exchange information about what they know about life cycles and the affect it has on each students world. Every student may have a different answer and this is why inquiry based learning is important.
Three unit questions: How life cycles are connected? How do life cycles work? Who or what can have a life cycle? Project based learning can play a key role in any of these questions. Life cycles can be compared / contrasted and graphed to show the found information. The connection between life cycles and how it affects the food chain.

I think you made an excellent point when you stated that each student will have a different answer to a question. The best part about it is that all the answers are likely to be correct. Each child can enrich the understanding of the others. Additionally, I really like your unit and essentail questions. This is a great topic becuase it is general enough to cover the life cycles of humans, animals, plants, etc. With so much variety, the students might each be able to choose a specific species to learn about.
