Curious about how living things grow, change, and keep the circle going? This course explores the stages organisms move through—from cells dividing and genes directing development to metamorphosis in insects, flowering in plants, and reproduction in microbes and mammals. You’ll compare patterns across species, connect them to energy flow and ecosystems, and turn ideas into practice with quick labs, field observations, and simple simulations.

By the end, you’ll be able to read the rhythms of nature and put them to work. Expect to apply what you learn to real decisions like timing planting and harvests, supporting pollinators, managing pests, anticipating disease spread, and planning conservation strategies. You’ll sharpen data skills and scientific reasoning that transfer to classrooms, community projects, and careers in healthcare, agriculture, and environmental science.

I’m Think Right, a teacher who’s spent my career helping learners explore how living things grow, adapt, and renew. From hands-on investigations to nature-based observations, I focus on making complex cycles simple, visual, and memorable. Life Cycles is where I bring those experiences together to show how patterns repeat from cells to ecosystems—and why they matter.

I’m deeply connected to this subject because I see its rhythms everywhere: in seasons, in our bodies, and in the communities we build. I’m passionate about guiding students to notice these connections, ask better questions, and apply what they learn in real life. If you’re curious about how change works, you’ll feel right at home with me in Life Cycles.
