Year 7 Introduction to Variation and Genetics

This powerpoint is a simple introduction to the concept of Variation for use with Year 7 groups, although it could be used for Year 8 also. You could even take some parts of this to present to year 9, especially lower level groups.

This free resource has been used a number of times with my Year 7s and 8s to great effect and has allowed me to scaffold up to other genetic concepts fairly easily.

It includes a number of examples of variation including the peppered moth, the Dodo and a more complex antibiotic related example for more able students.

Presented on primarily a blue background to assist dyslexic students
