Biological sciences<br />

GROWING AND CHANGING<br />

Teacher notes<br />

<strong>Science</strong> inquiry focus:<br />

How do humans grow and change from a baby to an adult?<br />

<strong>Science</strong> Inquiry Skills:<br />

• Questioning and predicting QP<br />

• Planning and conducting PC<br />

• Processing and analysing data and information PA<br />

• Communicating C<br />

<strong>Science</strong> as a Human Endeavour:<br />

• Students act like scientists when they make observations,<br />

ask questions and describe changes in human beings at<br />

different stages of development.<br />

Technology/Engineering/Mathematics links:<br />

• using a QR code reader to view a video<br />

• using iMovie® (or similar) to create a time-lapse video<br />

• submitting a video online or via email<br />

Background information<br />

• All living things grow and their featu<strong>res</strong> change over the<br />

course of their life. Growing and changing is part of an<br />

organism’s ability to find and use available <strong>res</strong>ources,<br />

reproduce and survive.<br />

• The appearance and activity of people, animals and plants<br />

changes as they go through a complete life cycle.<br />

• The human life cycle can be divided into different stages in<br />

a number of ways. The stages include infancy, childhood,<br />

adolescence/teenager, adulthood and old age/elderly.<br />

The lengths of these stages vary across individuals,<br />

cultu<strong>res</strong> and time. Development in the stages is affected<br />

by environmental and physiological factors, as well as<br />

differing experiences.<br />

Assessment focus:<br />

• The worksheet on page 10<br />

may be used as a formative<br />

assessment to gauge student<br />

understanding that humans<br />

grow and change throughout<br />

their lives.<br />

Resources<br />

• Photographs of the teacher<br />

at different stages of life<br />

if possible (baby, child<br />

and adult). These can be<br />

scanned for viewing on the<br />

whiteboard<br />

• Photographs of each<br />

student as a baby and<br />

throughout their childhood<br />

to the p<strong>res</strong>ent day. Ensure<br />

students bring at least<br />

12 photographs from<br />

different stages of their<br />

life. Alternatively, parents<br />

may provide digital<br />

photographs instead<br />

• Sufficient copies of page 10<br />

• Computer tablet with<br />

iMovie® or similar<br />

application, and QR code<br />
