Year 6 Science Evolution: Lesson 2 - Adaptations and Camouflage

(1)
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.

A booklet aimed originally at EYFS with** 12 experiments** to try throughout the year. I have since used this throughout the school with different ages and abilities. Each experiment contains: list of equipment, method, explanation of how it works, some example big thinking questions, room for personal reflection I have found in my early career taking notes on what makes each experiment work for different cohorts helpful for future planning.

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.

“Let me catch you doing something good.” A great resource to support the praise of positive actions for children who can find “making good choices” challenging. For those times you feel you constantly “nag”, this check-in sheet is excellent for developing relationships and working towards an agreed weekly goal.
