Year 2 To know different animals have different types of offspring

Thankyou for looking at my resource.

This is the first lesson in a sequence. The lesson can be taught independently without the need for the further lessons or the previous lesson. This lesson can be picked up and taught straight from however this is fully editable.

In this lesson children will start by completing a number of task which remind them of their prior learning from year 1. This will provide an opportunity for the teacher to make a quick assessment of any learning which needs recapping on. This will also ensure that prior learning is at the forefront of children’s mind to make sense of their new learning.

Children will start by thinking abut humans. To avoid misconceptions children are guided to think how they have changed since being a child/ will change as well as differences between themselves and other children. It will be established that although there are many differences humans look like humans.

This will lead into children making a prediction about all animals looking like their offspring.

Children will investigate this independently by matching offspring to their adult.

Helping hands will be provided for children who need additional support as well as a chilli challenge for both independent tasks.

The chilli challenge should be provided to all learners the ’ differentiation ’ will be based on how children complete the task.

Children will have stem sentences to support oracy and enable children to focus on the science rather than forming a sentence.
