Humans Grow and Change

Humans grow and change. Difference in measurement shows growth.

In order to see human change and growth, students compare current and baby pictures to note the differences. Display current pictures of the teacher and the students on a bulletin board. Students bring baby pictures, labeled on the back, and place them on the board. The students match current pictures with the baby pictures. Teacher helps students make correct identification. After matching the pictures, the students discuss: Who has changed the most, the least?
At the Science Center, the students find their heights. On butcher paper fastened to a wall or door frame and marked in nonstandard units labeled with letters, each student marks his/her height. Transfer the information to a graph indicating heights by using letters instead of names. For example, if three students measure to the letter C, enter three tally marks on the graph at the place labeled C. The students convert the tally marks to numbers.
