Read each question carefully and follow the instructions. This worksheet will help you practice identifying and understanding chronological order in stories and events.
Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow.
The Life Cycle of a Butterfly First, a female butterfly lays tiny eggs, usually on a leaf or stem. These eggs are often laid in clusters. A few weeks later, a tiny larva, also known as a caterpillar, hatches from each egg. The caterpillar spends its time eating leaves and growing larger, shedding its skin several times as it grows. Next, the caterpillar forms a chrysalis around itself. Inside the chrysalis, amazing changes begin to happen. Finally, after a period of time, a beautiful adult butterfly emerges from the chrysalis, ready to fly and lay its own eggs, starting the cycle all over again.
1. What happens immediately after the caterpillar hatches from the egg?
It forms a chrysalis.
It eats leaves and grows.
It lays tiny eggs.
It emerges as an adult butterfly.
2. What is the final stage of the butterfly life cycle described in the passage?
Laying eggs
Eating leaves
Forming a chrysalis
Emerging as an adult butterfly
Number the events from the butterfly life cycle in the correct chronological order (1 for first, 4 for last):
The caterpillar forms a chrysalis.
A female butterfly lays eggs.
A caterpillar hatches from an egg.
An adult butterfly emerges.
Complete the sentences using words that indicate chronological order (e.g., first, next, then, finally, before, after):
