Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and describe ways of supporting the human body as it grows over time and a template to record changes to their height over a period of time using non-standard measurements.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore some of the different ways that bodies grow and change as they get older.

This lesson is part of a science scheme of work to get the children to identify and describe how humans change as they grow from children into adults including changes to appearance, height and abilities in performing different activities. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
