Offspring are young animals in relation to their parents
Offspring change and grow into adults
Animals at different stages of growth can be grouped by looking at what is similar and what is different
Animals at different stages of growth can be ordered correctly using observation skills

Include examples of animals whose offspring do not resemble them e.g. caterpillar/butterfly, swan/cygnet, tadpoles/frogs etc.
