Our new science topic this half term is all about variation and adaptation. As we are studying living things, we are being biologists. We began by looking at our new vocabulary. It is important we understand these words as it will help us in the lessons. We discussed how there are variations within different groups of living things. We know that we have different breeds of dogs etc within the species. We went on to recognise that when offspring are produced, this can create variations. In humans, this can be things like hair colour and eye colour. We completed some tally charts to see which was the most common eye and hair colour in our class. Blue eyes came out on top and brown hair was the most common.
Here is the vocabulary that we are learning this half term.
