Explore species variation and how animals adapt to their environments with an engaging Species Variation and Evolution PowerPoint.
Explore Growth and Change With Our Species Evolution PowerPoint
Bring your animal growth and change unit to life in your Year 6 classroom with this interactive teaching slide presentation that unpacks how organisms have evolved over time. Using this Species Evolution PowerPoint, students explore how living things change across generations and why those changes matter for survival.
This carefully sequenced Species Evolution PowerPoint helps students understand that variation within a species is normal and that, over long periods of time, these variations can make organisms more or less suited to their environments.
Discover How Structural Features and Behaviours Support Survival
Students will investigate how specific structural features and behaviours help organisms thrive in particular environments.
This interactive teaching presentation includes:
- Explanations of species variation and adaptations
- Examples of how fossils and scientific records provide evidence of evolution
- Discussion of how small changes in offspring can lead to long-term changes in a species
- Real-world examples, including:
- How modern giraffes have longer necks than their ancestors
- How chameleons change colour to survive in their environments
- How eastern pygmy possums survive through extended hibernation
- and more!
