Five pages of worksheets that can be used when teaching Year 6 Evolution and Inheritance. The worksheets focus on inherited characteristics with an activity that focuses on sliding scales to decide whether it it inherited or acquired or whether it may fall somewhere inbetween such as hair colour. There are then questions getting pupils to consider why hair and eye colour can be inherited or acquired. The final worksheets focus on family trees and looking at what a child has inherited from different people in the family, considering the roles different people in the family may play including grandparents. All the sheets can also provide rich discussion as a class in considering different elements of inheritance.

A fully resourced 6 lesson unit on electricity in Year 6. Included is a booklet format that includes all the questions, all the supporting information required and the activities linked to this. As much as possible, images, models and diagrams have been used to make the information as accessible as possible to refer back to following discussions. Each lesson also has key vocabulary and recap questions as well (the first lesson links to our previous unit of Animals including Humans so can be easily adapted). Each lesson also has a PowerPoint that includes the information and diagrams from the booklet as well as any additional notes etc. All the resources have been uploaded as PowerPoints so that you can easily adapt them to suit your setting. most images and diagrams courtesy of BBC Bitesize

20 different writing activities that link to content from the Year 6 unit for Living Things and their Habitats to support the development of using different conjunctions in writing as well as thinking carefully about some of the knowledge and how they can apply the conjunctions appropriately using what they know about the subject area. There are 20 days worth of activities, with each day having a different link to knowledge from the unit. Each day includes three different slides that follow the I do, we do, you do model. However, it doesn’t need to be that each day you follow the model and that you may just model and then get pupils to do the you do or leave it up as pupils enter the classroom for them to then have a go at the because, but, so. The idea is that it is short focused writing, with the full session lasting 15 to 20 minutes if using all three elements and shorter where all three elements aren’t used. Slides can be used as a pick up and go and don’t need to be done in the order set out.
