• Science – Rocks and Evolution and inheritance. “Pupils should be taught to compare and group together different kinds of rocks on the basis of their appearance and simple physical properties (and) describe how fossils are formed when things that have lived are trapped within rock”. “Pupils should be taught to recognise that living things have changed over time and that fossils provide information about living things that inhabited the Earth millions of years ago”.
