Growth

Explore the wonders of growth in KS2 Science with this quiz on how plants, animals, and humans grow!

Growth is like maturing, and you're growing all the time without even realising it! Slowly, you're changing from a child to an adult. But it's not just humans; animals and plants grow too. Your pet might have transformed from a small puppy to a big dog. Plants are easy to observe – plant seeds, and soon they'll have roots and stems.

How long does it take to grow up? When do animals stop growing? Test your knowledge with this fun quiz on growth!
