Adolescence is the time that a human spends as an adolescent.

An adolescent is a human in the process of developing from a child into an adult.

Puberty is a time when human bodies go through changes to become adults that are able to reproduce.

When living things reproduce they create their offspring.

Changes during puberty

Science

In this Human development unit, pupils learn to describe the changes as humans develop to old age. In the Evolution and inheritance unit, they will build on this knowledge to learn that living things produce offspring of the same kind, but normally offspring vary and are not identical to their parents

In the New life unit, pupils learnt that animals, including humans, have offspring which grow into adults. In this Human development unit, they will build on this knowledge to describe the changes as humans develop to old age
