Develop pupils' understanding of evolution with this Year 6 What Is Variation? PowerPoint. It will get pupils thinking about why offspring do not look identical to their parents and includes informative teaching slides about genetic and environmental variation. There are two tasks and a deeper thinking question to help all pupils engage with the lesson, plus pre- and post-assessment questions and further tasks that children can complete at home.

National Curriculum Objectives:

• Recognise that living things produce offspring of the same kind, but normally offspring vary and are not identical to their parents.
