Can they plot points on a simple graph?
Can they read information from graph?
Can they find a pattern in the data (in this case, older children are taller than younger children) and use it to answer the investigation question?

The Science Behind the Science
Animals grow by ingesting a variety of nutrients, including carbohydrates, lipids, sugars, fats, and proteins, then digesting them into their chemical components. These components are distributed throughout the body and used to build new cells. Hormonal and environmental factors can trigger animal growth, which usually ceases once the animal has reached adult size. This is a different process from plants, which grow continuously over their lifetime by enlarging existing cells.
Notice that animals, including humans, have offspring that grow into adults.
The study of the characteristics, systems, and behaviours of humans and other animals, and of plants; the interactions and relationships between and among them, and with the environment.
Noticing patterns.
Cross-Curricular Link for Mathematics: Measurement: Ask pupils to measure the arm length of class members. Then choose and use appropriate standard units to estimate and measure length/height in any direction (m/cm); to the nearest appropriate unit, using rulers.
