What question do you have for the parent? - Changes as you grow - Year 5
Science Resource Description
When exploring the fascinating topic of human development, particularly the growth of a young baby, Year 5 students are encouraged to prepare questions for a parent. This exercise aims to deepen their understanding of the life cycle of humans by inquiring about the real-life experiences of raising an infant. Students are prompted to think critically about what they already know and what they are curious to learn regarding the various stages a baby goes through as they grow and develop. The questions should be centered around the progression from infancy into later stages of childhood.
To consolidate their learning, the students are tasked with creating a collective book titled 'What would you ask the parent of a young baby?' This collaborative project will serve as a repository for their inquiries and findings. Students will consider the life cycles of humans, comparing them with those of different animals, and focus specifically on the early stages of a human's life cycle. This interactive approach allows students to engage directly with the subject matter, fostering a deeper appreciation and comprehension of human growth and development.
