Development through the lifestages

Unit 4 is about understanding the way we change over time.  It explores the course of human development and the range of genetic, biological and social factors that influence how your life turns out.  You will investigate the major events which affect people throughout their lifetimes and look at the effects of ageing, and theories about it.

Stretch & Challenge - you are encouraged to explore the various theories of physical, psychological , social and emotional development in great depth and will be pointed towards sources to assist you. As part of the higher criteria assessment you will explore and evaluate the nature nurture debate.
