Year 6 Science Evolution: Lesson 4 - Inheritance and Variation
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!
Year 6 Science Evolution: Lesson 5 - Fossils
Lesson 5 of 5 on the topic of evolution.
This lesson discusses Fossils, lots of new terminology and talking points.
I cover dinosaurs, palentology, the discovery of ancient horses (my favourite animal) and we finish with an investigation “do you think evolution is still happening today?” and an observation task using images of fossils.
This could be split into several lessons if time is a factor.

Bundle
Year 6 Science Evolution 40% discount
**Everything you need for the Year 6 topic of Evolution! **
Bundle includes: A Knowledge Organiser, and 5 double lessons that cover a wide variety of topics in Evolution and Inheritance. These lessons have been created in line with the National Curriculum of England with the aim of fulfilling the following requirements
-recognise that living things have changed over time and that fossils provide information about living things that inhabited the Earth millions of years ago
-recognise that living things produce offspring of the same kind, but normally offspring vary and are not identical to their parents
-identify how animals and plants are adapted to suit their environment in different ways and that adaptation may lead to evolution
These individual lessons can be split further into smaller one hour/50 minute lessons as I tend to plan for full afternoon science sessions!
