Science Quiz - Animals - Growth from Babies to Adults (Questions)

From tiny babies to strong adults, animals change in size, shape and skills. Explore how bodies, teeth and behaviour grow as part of KS1 Science learning.

(quiz starts below)

Fascinating Fact:

Teeth change. Some animals, and children too, lose baby teeth and grow adult teeth for stronger chewing.

In KS1 Science, children discover how animals grow from babies to adults. They learn that bodies, teeth, coats and behaviours can change so animals can eat better, move confidently and survive.

Key Terms

  • Baby: A young animal at the start of its life.
  • Adult: A fully grown animal that cannot grow taller but may still get stronger.
  • Life cycle: The stages an animal goes through from baby to adult.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What does animals growing from babies to adults mean in KS1 Science?

It means learning how animals start small and then change in size, shape and abilities as they grow into adults, often becoming stronger and more independent.

Do all animal babies look like their parents when they are grown up?

No. Some, like lambs and foals, become larger versions of their parents. Others, like tadpoles turning into frogs, change shape a lot as they grow.

How can I help KS1 children understand animal growth stages?

You can compare baby and adult photos, talk about size, teeth and fur changes, and order pictures to show each step from baby to grown-up.
