Why do some people grow taller than others? Can food really make a difference? This high-interest reading answers the questions students actually ask, in clear, simple English.
Students learn how growth plates make bones longer, when we stop growing, and why North and South Koreans have different average heights despite similar genes. They also find out how sleep and growth hormone work together, and why nutrients work as a team: calcium needs vitamin D, and plant iron needs vitamin C. The text explains how and why things happen, so students understand the science instead of just memorising facts.
