Complete KS3 and KS4 fully differentiated lesson on Adaptation

Starter
KS3
KS4 - BoB’s big five. A recap over the last few lessons in 5 questions that they complete in the back of their books (Hence BoB). There are then the answers on the next slides for students to self or peer mark. This is to encourage memory retention over a series of lessons and has had a great impact in my classroom. Followed by a series of images showing animals that have adapted to their surroundings.
Main
KS3 & KS4 - Place the station cards from the PPT file around the room. Students then have copies of the station cards from the word file and have to move around the room completing the cards. There are helper sheets to support students if needed, or for your LSA’s.
Helper sheets are for any LSA’s you may have
