Developed for primary schools
Explore the fascinating world of living things and how they’ve evolved over time! Our primary lessons and resources dive into the wonders of Natural Selection and Survival of the Fittest, showing how species adapt to their environments. Discover the unique adaptations in birds’ beaks, learn to create classification keys, and gain a deeper understanding of the Animal and Plant Kingdoms. Perfect for young learners, these engaging materials make science fun, hands-on, and easy to understand, while inspiring curiosity about the world around us!
These lessons and resources are available either as part of a topic-related whole project within the broader Cornerstones History Curriculum through our Maestro platform, or as individual stand-alone lessons on our Quick Teach platform.

This project teaches children about the grouping of living things, known as classification. They study local and wider habitats and use classification keys to identify living things. Children also learn about the impact of human influences on habitats and their living things.
This project teaches children about the human life cycle. They explore growth and development to old age, including the changes experienced during puberty and human reproduction.
This project teaches children about how living things on Earth have changed over time, and how fossils provide evidence for this. They learn how characteristics are passed from parents to their offspring, and how variation in offspring can affect their survival, with changes (adaptations) possibly leading to evolution.
If you’re looking for inspiring lessons and resources across the whole science curriculum, then the Cornerstones Science Curriculum offers everything you need for single or multi-year groups, with a collection of projects designed by subject experts to support teachers and subject leaders at every level of subject knowledge.
