Save time with homework planning, have children choose one or two activites each week for their homework. With a selection of tasks including writing, drawing and building. I have used these with Primary 3, 4 (Scottish Curriculum for Excellence) and Year 6 (English National Curriculum) The work they produce is also a great way to get displays up and running with a variety of pieces.

Year 6 Science Evolution: Lesson 2 - Adaptations and Camouflage

Lesson 2 of 5 in my topic on evolution. This again can be broken into two shorter lessons if time is an issue. It begins with a quick whole class game of find the animal using camouflage, then an investigation into Darwin’s Moth. I then took my class outside with some coloured pencils and cut out butterfly/moth silhouettes they had to colour the paper and hide them in a natural habitat. Great one to get the children out and about before writing the impact of natural selection and adaptation on a creature. The final task is an adaptation game of survival. This again could be adapted or the children make their own for a different climate.

Lesson 4 of 5 on the topic of Evolution This is one of my favourites and we discuss how diverse and adaptable dogs are as a species. There is a missing word passage the children complete, then we discuss what happens if two different species of animals were to mate (some silly examples!) what features would the offspring have? I use my dog as an example as she was DNA tested to show four different breeds in her ancestry, a pug, beagle, chihuahua, and american eskimo dog. All my children guessed Jack russell! I then suggest an investigation the children can do in class or as homework, my example is of eye colour but this can be changed or voted on in small groups too. A great fun lesson that gets the children talking!
