This practical activity enables students to investigate the preference of worms to soils with and without an added soil improver. It is a simple procedure, with scope for extended statistical analysis of the results, and makes an interesting alternative to the classic woodlice and choice chamber activity. Details of worm suppliers are included, as are teacher notes, apparatus list and safety guidance.
Free posters from the Linnean Society to download (or order printed copies) on biodiversity, conservation, classification and evolution.
This practical activity is well set-out and explained. It allows students to investigate adaptation by modelling beak type and the ability to take advantage of available food sources. The work clearly links with Darwin’s observations on finch beaks, and so can be used to illustrate adaptation and natural selection. Students instructions and teacher guidance are included.
An interactive test in which people will discover their natural body clock.
An overview of animal and plant adaptations. Linked pages provide detail of organisms in hot and cold climates.
