Curriculum purpose

Curriculum anchor: England Year 6 science: recognise that offspring normally vary and are not identical to their parents.

This game is designed as short independent practice after an idea has been introduced. It does not replace direct teaching, mathematical or scientific discussion, or an adult checking whether the learner can explain the idea away from the screen.

For parents and carers

Pair the game with real observations or anonymous measurements and keep causal claims within the evidence. Take a break when you need one.
