Evolution and Inheritance Year 6 Science Booklet | KS2 Science | Adaptation, Variation and Fossils
Give your child a clear, confident understanding of evolution and how living things change over time before they ever set foot in a science exam.
This Year 6 booklet takes your child through why living things look and behave differently, how useful adaptations spread through a species over generations, and what fossils can tell us about life on Earth millions of years ago. Your child will explore the physical and behavioural adaptations of animals and plants, discover how genetic and environmental factors create variation, and meet the scientists who shaped our understanding of evolution. Real wildlife photography, labelled diagrams, and bold vocabulary with phonetic spellings make the content genuinely accessible at home.
What's inside:
- Variation — the differences among individuals caused by genetic and environmental factors
- Why adaptations matter and how they become more common in a species over generations
- Animal adaptations — physical and behavioural traits that help animals survive
- Plant adaptations — how leaf shapes and root systems help plants thrive in different environments
- What fossils reveal about ancient life and the history of organisms
- Key figures in evolution: Mary Anning, Charles Darwin, and Alfred Wallace
Pairs well with Evolution and Inheritance Year 6 Science Workbook
Help your child feel prepared and confident in Year 6 science.
