The womb is an organ in female mammals where offspring grow and develop.

To develop is to grow or change gradually.

A human that is less than a year old is called a baby.

In this Human development unit, pupils learn to describe the changes as humans develop to old age. In the Evolution and inheritance unit, they will build on this knowledge to learn that living things produce offspring of the same kind, but normally offspring vary and are not identical to their parents

In the New life unit, pupils learnt that animals, including humans, have offspring which grow into adults. In this Human development unit, they will build on this knowledge to describe the changes as humans develop to old age

This unit describes the changes humans undergo from birth to old age. It involves planning scientific enquiries, measuring accurately, recording complex data, and presenting findings. Emphasis is on identifying evidence to support or refute ideas, drawing conclusions, and explaining results.

Human development

A toddler is a young human aged 1-3 years old, who is learning to walk.

After the baby stage, a young human becomes a child.

Childhood is the time that a human spends as a child.

Adolescence is the stage of the human life cycle that occurs between childhood and adulthood.

An adolescent is a human in the process of developing from a child into an adult.

Puberty is a time when human bodies go through changes to become adults that are able to reproduce.

When living things reproduce they create their offspring.

An adult is a mature form of a plant or animal.

Adulthood is the time that a human spends as an adult.

Chronological order is the order that things happen.

The adult is a mature form of a plant or animal.

The population of a place is all of the people living there.

A survey is a set of questions used to gather information.

A sample of a population means a part of that population.

Growth rate is the rate or speed at which something gets bigger.

An average is a number that is calculated by adding amounts together and then dividing the total by the number of quantities.

To measure is to use equipment to find numbers to describe a feature of something such as its length, weight, size or time.

The result of a test or enquiry is what happened or what was found out.

In science, data is information collected during an investigation, which can include numbers, symbols, pictures, or text.

A mean average is calculated by adding values together and dividing the total by the number of values.

A line graph is a type of diagram used to show how a variable changes over time.

To plot a mark or line on a graph means to place it correctly on the axes according to its values.

Working scientifically: Recording data using line graphs - Human height

To analyse data is to examine it carefully in order to explain or interpret patterns, trends, or relationships.

A bar chart is a type of diagram that visually represents data using rectangular bars.

A line graph is a type of diagram that can be used to show how a variable changes over time.

A prediction is a statement about what is expected to happen.

Working scientifically: Using test results to make predictions - Human height

Life expectancy is the measure of how long a person may live.

To research something is to find out about it or investigate it carefully.

A line graph is a type of diagram that can be used to show how something changes over time.

The impact of something is the effect it has.

A prediction is a statement saying what you think will happen.

Gases which contribute towards global warming are called greenhouse gases.
