Life Journey

This passage describes the four stages of an ant’s life cycle: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. It explains how larvae are fed and cared for by workers and how pupae transform inside protective cocoons. The text shows how adult ants take on different jobs based on the colony’s needs, such as foraging, protecting, or laying eggs. It also explains differences in lifespan between workers and queens.

Reading this builds vocabulary about life cycles, growth, and transformation. Comprehension strengthens as students track progress through the four stages. Grammar skills develop as the text uses precise scientific descriptions. Critical thinking deepens as learners compare life cycle stages and understand how each one supports colony survival.
