About this worksheet
A three-page Year 5 cloze on human development, with answers on the last page. A picture shows five life stages, from a crawling baby to an older person with a walking stick. Pupils fill twelve gaps in three paragraphs and use each bank word once. The words run from gestation and infancy through puberty, hormones and growth spurt to elderly and wrinkles. Two questions follow: one sentence about a stage, and why an infant depends on caregivers more than an adolescent. It follows the England National Curriculum.
