Darwin’s Delights

Project overview

Develop children’s knowledge of evolution and inheritance with our pre-planned and comprehensively resourced science project, Darwin’s Delights. This Year 6 project and supporting resources teach children about living things and their habitats, DNA and Darwin’s theory of natural selection.

It is built upon our four-stage primary focused pedagogy – Engage, Develop, Innovate, Express – to get your children curious about the project ahead, develop and then use new skills and knowledge, before finally allowing them to express their thoughts, ideas and reflections on what they have learnt.

*This project is part of the Cornerstones Science Curriculum and is not sold separately.
