Like Plants in a Garden
Think about plants in a garden. Some plants grow really quickly, like beans or sunflowers, they get tall in just a few days. Other plants, like grass or slow-growing trees, take much longer to reach their full height. So even though all the plants are growing, some grow faster than others.

Now imagine you and your friend are both going down a slide, but one of you goes really fast, and the other takes it easy. After a few rounds, you’ll be much farther ahead of your friend. That’s like "grew at different speeds", even though you’re both moving forward, you're not doing it at the same pace.
So when something grows or moves faster than another thing, we say they “grew at different speeds.” It's just like how some kids zoom down slides while others take their time! Imagine you and your friend are both growing taller, but one of you grows faster than the other. That’s what "grew at different speeds" means.
