In Year 2 Science, children look at animal offspring and compare them to their adults. They explore how animals change as they grow up, and they're introduced to the life cycles of several varied common animals, including humans. Children look in detail at how humans change as they grow older, drawing on their own observations.
Year 2
2. Notice that animals, including humans, have offspring which grow into adults. Find out about and describe the basic needs of animals, including humans, for survival (water, food and air) Describe the importance for humans of exercise, eating the right amounts of different types of food, and hygiene.
Life Cycles In Year 2
This lesson on life cycles for year 2 is the second lesson in a series of six on the science topic of ‘Animals, Including Humans’. Like all our PlanIt units, you can download the lessons as separate packs or a complete unit. The previous lesson explores animals and their offspring. The next lesson looks at growing up for KS1.
