WOW! Practical Introduction
Lizard Survival
To start the lesson, with the children watching, draw a lizard on the board (make sure you colour it in, as well as drawing the outline). Once you have finished, ask each child to draw a similar lizard on an A4 piece of paper (make sure pens, or crayons of different colours are available). Once finished ask all the children to hold their pictures up in the air. Ask the class whether all the lizards are the same or whether they are different? They should notice that they are all slightly different (different sizes, colours, longer or shorter legs, etc.). At this point introduce the term variation. Children then to choose which lizards would survive the best in certain habitats and terrain. What features or characteristics would they need?
