Curiosity – year 6 science

I popped into year 6 this week to see what they were learning about in science. It was fantastic to see them all really enjoying their learning and exploring Darwin’s work on different finch’s beaks. Darwin looked at why different species of finch had evolved on different islands to suit the habitat/environment on that island.  The children had different ‘beaks’ to test which were the most effective at moving items between bowls. A really interesting lesson which sparked lots of interesting discussion.
