Invertebrate Life Cycles and Characteristics

In week three of the science course, the focus is on invertebrate animal life cycles, particularly arthropods. The video begins with a recap of previous content and an introduction to the week's topic. It explains the classification of animals into vertebrates and invertebrates, highlighting that 96% of animal species are invertebrates. The video then delves into the life cycles of invertebrates, detailing the four main stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Each stage is explained with examples, emphasizing the transformation process in arthropods.
