This lesson was written for middle/top sets. The lesson is designed to provoke discussion and thought about the process of Extinction.
The first part of the lesson introduces the concept of 'Extinction - dead as a Dodo'.
The second part looks at the 4 main causes of extinction.
The third part looks at the evidence for extinction- the fossil record and includes a mini practical looking at fossils and using their features/adaptations to understand their historic niche,
The narrative is deliberately loose so the lesson can follow the students questions/discussions but the sequencing ensures that the learning objectives will be covered.
At the end, if you have time, there are 'book-work' references (to consolidate the learning).
A thoroughly researched resource for Science teachers who want an exciting, discussion-based thought provoking and engaging lesson written by a science teacher with over 20 years’ experience.
This lesson (and scheme of work) has been successfully trialed in a state Academy and has been used (and improved each time) over three different classes.

This a really poorly put together PP that has the same slides over and over and then tell you to work from a text book. At a cost of £4 it is a total waste of money. I expected a full engaging lesson for that.
