           Activity---13(NCERT)
           Aim- To study the life cycle of mosquito.

           Materials Required:

           A chart/formalin preserved bottle jar specimen/permanent slides showing the different stages
           of development in mosquito

           How to proceed:
                             1.  Observe the preserved specimen and name the stages.


                    2.  Observe the chart carefully and note the different stages in the life cycle.




                                     3. Discuss the characteristics of each stage

           Observation:

           Eggs : Deposited in water, they hatches in water.
           Larva : Lives on the surface of water, moults several time.

           Pupa : A stage just prior to the adult stage, pupae do not feed.
           Adult : It emerges from pupae body parts harden and starts flying.
