Effects of the environment, environmental variation, inherited variation. KS3. Complete Lesson.

A complete, and ready to deliver, high quality KS3 lesson from Barclayfox.

(For USA - this lesson is for use between 6th to 8th grade).

This is a complete lesson from start to end, you do not need to spend many hours carefully planning, creating, resourcing and improving this lesson after each use. I have already spent those hours preparing this lesson for my students and improving it over many years. This is a very high quality lesson.

There is nothing for you to do but give it a quick look through and familiarise yourself with it.

Lesson objectives:
* Identify causes of environmental variation.
* Describe adaptations to both daily changes and seasonal changes.
* Identify which variations are environmental, which are inherited and which are both.

This carefully crafted lesson is over 30 slides long, and is full of learning activities as below:
* Notes to help the teacher.
* Starter - simple task where students self-assess against the objectives.

* Homework (optional using activity sheet)
* Scientific Literacy activity.
