Evolution and Inheritance- Science- Lesson Seven- Bacteria adaptation

Looking for Evolution and Inheritance Science planning that focuses around a ‘Big Question’ for the whole unit?

More and more schools are expecting all planning to have an overarching question that works across the whole planning. The purpose is to provide a hook for the children and to make every lesson relevant to the final learning outcome.

This is the Seventh lesson of a sequence of planning that focuses around the big question 'How have living things changed to survive? Each lesson in the unit will provide children more and more answers to this question by focusing on a range studied areas.

Lesson Seven focuses on how bacteria adapts to survive. The children will participate in a role play activity that helps to demonstrate how quickly bacteria adapts.

Lesson outcomes:
*Understand that bacteria are able to adapt just like any other organism (plant or animal).
*Use a simple doctor/patient scenario to demonstrate how adaptation causes problems when treating a bacterial infection.
