Evolution is now a part of the Year 6 primary science curriculum and that’s where we come in. We offer free resources and professional development workshops to help teachers bring these tricky concepts to life through hands-on investigations and activities.

The website has session plans, videos and more. Please use the menu on the right to go to particular topics.

There are also sections which address common concerns teachers have and ideas about ways to respond to children’s questions.

For details about posters, one-day events for children and CPD workshop, please look at our Events and Resources page

The National Curriculum for Science Key Stage 2 states that under the ‘Evolution and Inheritance’ module pupils should be taught 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.

What are Evolutionary Adaptations?
