Evolution

Evolution in IB MYP Grade 3 Biology

In IB MYP Grade 3 Biology, Evolution gives intermediate learners (ages 13–14) the chance to practise investigating adaptation in animals, understanding natural selection simply and analysing evidence for evolution.

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

Investigating adaptation in animals
Understanding natural selection simply
Analysing evidence for evolution

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

Link every fact to an everyday example. Ideas you can connect to real life are much easier to remember and apply.

Quick answers

Who is the Evolution page for?

It is for IB MYP Grade 3 Biology learners, typically aged 13–14, 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.
