Human Growth and Development so that I can

course linked to life stages
• To be able to demonstrate an understanding
of the difference between growth and
development
Human Growth & Development
Discuss:
What do we mean by the term:
– Growth?
Definition
Human growth: refers to an increase in physical size, both mass
and height. This occurs because the number of body cells
increases and individual cells get bigger as they contain more
material and become more sophisticated in their range of
functions.
Human Growth & Development
Discuss:
What do we mean by the terms:
– Development?
Definition
Human development: refers to increasing skills and abilities and
capacities and can be physical, social, intellectual and emotional.
People can continue to develop throughout their lifetime
although at different rates.
Human Growth & Development
Consider how people grow and develop through a typical
lifespan.
Pairs activity: Time 10 minutes

Human Growth & Development
Tom and Lucy are 2 year
old twins. Working with a
partner, identify the major
events that are likely to
happen to Tom and Lucy
during their lives. For
example by the age of 5
they will have started
school.
Human Growth & Development
So, how do people grow and develop through their lives?
• We know that during a life course people can pass through
many different life stages.
• Each individual is unique in their growth and development but
at certain times of their lives (in other words the stage of life
that they are at), they can expect certain changes or events to
happen.
Think and do time!
Using any suitable iPad app, create and label a diagram of what
you think are the life stages in human development.
Include the following:
• A name for your life stage
• The age range that you life stage begins and ends
Let’s share our diagrams?

Homework
Organise a research placement
•
•
•
•
•
What do you need to do?
Research a number of suitable placements where you could attend 2-3 hours per
week every week from September 2014 to End of March 2015
What would be suitable???
– Nurseries
– Care homes
– Primary schools
– After school care organisations attached to primary schools (e.g. Fun Club)
Approach a prospective organisation to ask if in principle when you start sixth form in
September you would be able to do your research placement there.
If successful get details such as;
– Name of organisation
– Name of person to contact
– Contact phone number and email
•
Provide these details to Mrs Daly on return to school in September
