In this lesson students will learn about Darwin’s theory of evolution and how it can be explained through natural selection. They will watch an engaging video clip, look at the example of the peppered moth and Darwin’s finches on his voyage aboard the HMS Beagle. They will then investigate Darwin’s theory derived from finches by experimenting with different beak types collecting different food. They will consider how this showed that successful animals adapt to their environment. By the end of the lesson they will have been able to demonstrate the theory of natural selection! A knowledge organiser for Evolution and Inheritance is included. This lesson is 1/5 on Evolution and Inheritance.

During this fully resourced lesson on evolution GCSE students work through a variety of tasks to develop their understanding of how evolution occurs through natural selection. This is the 2nd lesson in a series of 7 and covers the content of - AQA Spec Ref- 4.6.2.2 Evolution from B6 Inheritance, variation, and evolution unit. AQA GCSE Biology OUP Scheme B14.2 Evolution by natural selection from B14 Variation and evolution chapter. Aimed at a mixed ability class covering content 1-8. Level 1: Low demand Level 2: Standard demand Level 3: High demand Presentation contains (29 slides)- Teacher and technician notes Bell work activity Clear lesson aims, objectives & success criteria. Information slides with differentiated content Differentiated activities (group work) Differentiated questions with answers for self-assessment Student worksheets / handouts This lesson is also available as a digital worksheet, which is ideal for absent students to catch-up missed work, distance learning, home schooling, or independent study.

This complete Scheme of Work package contains everything you need to inspire and engage children learning about Evolution and Inheritance. There are 7 complete lessons contained in this pack including in-depth PowerPoint presentations, worksheets for the main activities, starter activities and plenaries throughout. You’ll also find included within the pack lesson-by-lesson assessments, a summative assessment lesson and additional resources to support with differentiated learning. The content of this Scheme has been created in line with DfE guidance, ensuring lessons are progressive, scaffolded and allow children to attain key learning objectives in Science. Scheme Overview: Lesson 1: Changes over Time (Double Lesson) Lesson 2: Mary Anning (Contextual Study) Lesson 3: Offspring Lesson 4: Charles Darwin (Double Lesson) Lesson 5: Darwin’s Finches (Practical Double Lesson) Lesson 6: Adaptations Lesson 7: Summative Assessment I do not own the rights to any of the images or videos used as part of this resource pack.

A PowerPoint presentation which covers evolution and inheritance at key stage 2 for year 6 pupils. The presentation includes links to short video clips and potential activities which could be carried out in class.

Vocabulary sheet for the ks2 Year 6 science topic evolution and inheritance. Can be displayed as a poster or photocopied for individual or group use.

This is a simple differentiated worksheet for use after asking the question 'why and how are grasshoppers green' this leads really nicely into a discussion of the importance of variation. The differentiation is that students can access how risky they want to be... Really risky is turn the sheet over and answer the question without help. Risky is answers the structured questions, least risk is fill in the blanks. Hope this is helpful? Please rate

This resource was made for the new AQA scheme of work for Triple Science Biology Included are 18 lessons with full objectives and spec references (based on 1 hour lessons.) I have changed the order of teaching from the specification to help it flow a little better as well as including recap elements from earlier units. Student booklet included with space for notes and exam questions this is 60 pages with 2 lined pages in the back for flexibility. 1. DNA and the genome 2. DNA structure 3. Reproduction and meiosis 4. Sexual and asexual reproduction 5. Genetic inheritance 6. Inherited disorders 7. Mendel and the understanding of genetics 8. Variation 9. Evolution and extinction 10. The Theory of Evolution and fossils 11. Speciation 12. Selective breeding 13. Genetic engineering 14. Cloning 15. Resistant bacteria 16. Classification 17. Summary lesson 18. Podcast activity Feedback really appreciated :-)

Six sheets of straightforward revision questions. Written to provide simple recall test of what students have learned and need to learn (to reassure them as much as anything). Taken pretty much directly from the AQA 9-1 GCSE syllabus. Answer sheets are included. Would work well as a starter, plenary or on a VLE. Keywords Sexual reproduction; Asexual reproduction; Meiosis; DNA and the genome; Genetic inheritance; Genotype; Phenotype; Homozygous; Heterozygous; Allele; Sex determination; Variation; Evolution; Selective breeding; Genetic engineering; GM; Evidence for evolution; Fossils; Extinction; Resistant bacteria; Classification Included in the bundle: 26 Biology Revision Question Sheets (AQA 9-1 GCSE Combined Science) £10

A revision powerpoint for the AQA Combined Science 9-1 (trilogy route) GCSE, B6 Inheritance, Variation and Evolution topic. Designed to be used with pupils in the build up to examinations, once all content has been taught.

In this lesson students will learn who Charles Darwin was, looking at his early life and career choices, his journey on the HMS Beagle and his findings in the Galapagos Islands. They will be tasked to complete the biography of Charles Darwin using what they have learnt and to write a letter to a friend detailing his discoveries. A knowledge organiser of Evolution and Inheritance is included. This lesson is 1/5 on Evolution and Inheritance.

In this lesson students will learn what inheritance is and how the differences between us is due to inherited traits and variation. They will consider acquired and inherited traits and will organise example traits accordingly. They will try to identify inherited traits in images and will draw different versions of a puppy taking different features from their parents. By the end of the lesson students will have a good understanding of genetic diversity. A knowledge organiser for Evolution and Inheritance is included.

KS3 new for the Activate 2 unit ‘Adaptation and Inheritance’. Full lesson ready to use straight ‘out of the box’. Similar structure to my other power points following the input - activity - review phasing plenary sections for progress checking Clear learning objectives and outcomes Modern and engaging layout Little adaptation needed Please give constructive feedback :D

In the course of seven presentations and seven worksheets, this unit helps students to: recognise that living things have changed over time and that fossils provide information about living things that inhabited the Earth millions of years ago recognise that living things produce offspring of the same kind, but normally offspring vary and are not identical to their parents identify how animals and plants are adapted to suit their environment in different ways and that adaptation may lead to evolution Fossils as scientific evidence Mary Anning Adaptation Evolution Charles Darwin Genetics Chromosomes and DNA Reproduction and inheritance
