Variation, continuous variation, discontinuous, species, hybrids, offspring. Complete lesson.

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

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:
* Accurately define “species” and other key terms.
* Give examples of variations within humans.
* Describe variations as continuous and discontinuous.
* Be able to define whether a variation is continuous or discontinuous.
* Conduct an experiment to investigate variation.

This carefully crafted lesson is over 35 slides long, and is full of learning activities as below:
* Notes to help the teacher.
* Starter - Picture meaning and unscramble the key word.
* Starter - simple task where students self-assess against the objectives.
