In this activity students will practice identifying factors that affect growth and development and match these to appropriate explanations for how they affect health and wellbeing. This will help students to develop their skills for:

• Effective responses in the Component 1 internal assessment (Task 2)
• Answering the explain questions in the Component 3 exam where marks are awarded in pairs:
  • Reminds students to use words that signal they are providing an explanation, to secure the second mark
  • For example, by starting their explanatory sentence with ‘So….’ or ‘Because…’ or ‘As a result…’ or ‘This means that’ or ‘Which will…’

This resource can be used as a teaching activity as each factor is taught or as a consolidation/revision activity.
