Well, the BBC are running a set of fantastic, engaging investigations for schools to take part in and explore even more science. They’ve had investigations on trees, forces, time and exercise and now, their next one, which is taking place between October and January, is about feet, as well as evolution and inheritance.
To find out more about the newest investigation, just visit the BBC Terrific Scientific website. For now though, we wanted to let you know about the Key Stage 2 resources we’ve put together that can be used alongside your lessons on the evolution and inheritance aspect of the investigation.
Learn Screens, Activities and ThinkIts are among the resources we have put together below. All the learning and teaching resources are easily found on EducationCity too – just use Search to find them!
Here are your resources to support your lessons on evolution and inheritance…

Along with all these resources, you could also use our Word Search Topic Tool to create a word-finding game for your students, so that they can search for words that are related to your investigation on feet, and evolution and inheritance. Just add the words you want into your word search, print it out for your class and they can do it as a fun activity. Perfect!
Word Search: #20720 – Create a word search with science keywords to print or complete on screen.
