Foetal Development In The Womb: Science & Biology — Interactive Lesson (Year 5)

How a baby develops in the womb is one of the questions Year 5 pupils are most curious to have answered properly. This foetal development in the womb lesson, built as a 31-slide interactive lesson, gives students a clear, age-appropriate walk through human development before birth.

Students learn the stages of foetal development in the womb, from early cell growth through to the changes that happen as a baby nears birth, with instant self-marking feedback throughout.
