Pupils needing extra support

Should use the Activity: Inheritance family tree to help identify variations that have been inherited or affected by the environment and use these prompts to draw the other sibling; could use the Knowledge organiser to remind them of the definitions for environmental and inheritance variation.

Pupils working at greater depth

Should consider the ethics of selectively breeding animals and plants and whether it is right to make these decisions or whether the rules should vary for different types of living things; could choose an extension activity relating to inheritance from the Resource: Stretch and challenge: Evolution and inheritance.
