Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What do animal babies need to survive in KS1 science?

Animal babies need warmth, food or milk, water, air, and protection from their parents or carers so they can grow into healthy adults.

Why do some baby animals look different from their parents?

Some babies, like tadpoles or caterpillars, have different bodies at first. As they grow, they change shape in stages until they look like the adult.
