Directions: This assignment will require you to type directly in this worksheet. For Part I, you will describe 3-4 key physical changes that generally take place within each system during that particular age range. 75 word per box should suffice, and bullet points are preferred over long sentences. An example is included in RED. Note- not all age ranges will experience significant changes, and some boxes will overlap.
A minimum of three expert sources are required, which can include your textbook. Expert information must be correctly cited within each box.
After completing your research for the chart, answer the follow-up questions in Part II. Use properly formatted APA in-text citations, including full references at the bottom of the chart.

Part II: Follow-up Questions
In 150-250 words (for all 4 questions), please answer the following questions:
At what age-range do we see the most dramatic changes occurring?
Choose (and explain how) at least two factors that might exacerbate the physical changes. Examples: Excessive sun exposure
What can be done to offset some of these physical changes (cho0se one change above and include both preventive and accommodating ideas). Example: You might explain the impact of proper nutrition
What was your biggest take-away from this activity? What changes might you make now?
