Evolution

Evolution in IB MYP Grade 1 Biology

This page collects Evolution resources for IB MYP Grade 1 Biology. Learners at this foundational stage work on exploring how living things are different and investigating adaptation in animals.

MYP Biology is assessed against four criteria (A: knowing and understanding, B: inquiring and designing, C: processing and evaluating and D: reflecting on the impacts of science). Regular practice with evolution builds the knowledge and skills those criteria reward.

What learners practise

Exploring how living things are different
Investigating adaptation in animals

For students

Work through the worksheets, practice questions and revision resources at your own pace. Check your answers, then redo anything that felt tricky and explain each answer in your own words.

For revision

Use these resources for homework, end-of-unit revision and catching up on anything missed in class.

For teachers

Use evolution activities as a starter, homework or retrieval practice, and mix free and premium resources to differentiate.

Study tip

Read each question for the command word (describe, explain, compare) before you start. It tells you how much detail is expected.

Quick answers

Who is the Evolution page for?

It is for IB MYP Grade 1 Biology learners, typically aged 11–12, and for the parents and teachers who support them.

Are evolution resources free?

Many are. Each resource shows a clear Free or price label, so you can start with the free ones and add premium resources when you need more practice.

How should I use these resources?

Pick one resource, complete it without help first, then check and correct. Repeating this little and often is more effective than one long session.
