Evolution and Inheritance-Science- Lesson Four- How animals have evolved to survive-Birds-Part Two

Looking for Evolution and Inheritance Science planning that focuses around a ‘Big Question’ for the whole unit?

More and more schools are expecting all planning to have an overarching question that works across the whole planning. The purpose is to provide a hook for the children and to make every lesson relevant to the final learning outcome.

This is the Fourth lesson of a sequence of planning that focuses around the big question 'How have living things changed to survive? Each lesson in the unit will provide children more and more answers to this question by focusing on a range of studied areas.

Lesson Four is part two of two lessons about ‘How animals have evolved to survive’. Both lessons focus on birds.

Lesson four reflects on lesson three and takes a closer look at owls and how they have evolved to survive. Children will also make observations on what changes have helped owls to become such successful hunters.

Lesson outcomes:
*Understand the term Evolution
*Mention changes in birds how this aids survivals
*Comment on disadvantages of evolutionary changes- suggest changes.
