Darwin Inspired: Primary School Materials
The Charles Darwin Trust uses the intellectual and cultural heritage of Darwin, through his approach to science and his work at Down House and in the immediate countryside, to inspire a deeper understanding of the natural world. Darwin Inspired materials promote enquiry-based learning. They prompt children to develop a broad understanding of the many concepts, principles, models and theories Charles Darwin initiated in the field of natural science. Children make observations, ask questions, investigate the natural world and collaborate with others.
These resources, aimed at children aged seven to eleven years old, tackle topics that include:
- Life cycles
- Understanding the environment
- The struggle for life
- Interdependence of living things
A more detailed overview of the materials in this collection can be obtained from the Charles Darwin Trust.
