This lesson was written for middle/top sets. The lesson is designed to provoke discussion and thought about the process of Natural Selection . The lesson is constructed around 3 YOU TUBE videos.
The first is the classic story of the Peppered Moth (12mins).
The second video introduces Natural Selection in the context of Evolution (9 mins)
The third video is a TEDed film chosen to demonstrate how Natural Selection is still ongoing and, in the context of antibiotic resistance, poses a very real problem for humanity to address (5 mins)
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).
An excellent 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.
