Pupils needing extra support

Could number the statements on the Activity: Human timeline to avoid writing them out; could use the Activity: Human timeline: support version to cut out the reduced number of labels and glue them in the correct place; should be provided with a printed copy of the Resource: Analysing a growth curve and a clear ruler to make it easier to analyse by drawing lines on the graph to read the values.

Pupils working at greater depth

Should independently identify and sort their own examples of developmental or physical changes on the Activity: Human timeline and explain why some labels are more difficult to sort than others using examples (some descriptions cover multiple age groups); could evaluate some of the limitations associated with using a growth curve to predict someone’s height and decide if they are growing correctly (e.g. there are different curves for girls and boys, it depends on the correct interpretation or plotting of the data and many children grow above and below the average so their values will be different and may incorrectly appear as unhealthy).
