Exploration Question 1
What are traits that are inherited from parents and how do they vary within a group of similar organisms? |
|||
|
LS3-2.
Use evidence to support the explanation that traits can be influenced by the
environment. LS3-2.A Inheritance of Traits: Other
characteristics result from individuals’ interactions with the environment,
which can range from diet to learning.
Many characteristics involve both inheritance and environment. LS3-2.B Variation of Traits Use evidence (e.g. observations, patterns) to support an explanation. I can collect and interpret data describing characterisitcs of vaiours seeds and plants. |

the effect on a plant. I can analyze the effects of climate change on an organism's traits. |

I can identify a variety of inherited
traits based on similarities between siblings. I can identify a variety of inherited traits based on similarities between parents and offspring. I can use logical reasoning to make sense of phenomena. |

I can identify
differences in the look and function of traits because of different
inherited information. I can identify differences how an organism looks and functions because of different inherited information. (Focused on LS3.B - Different organisms...) |

Exploration Question 2 How can we prove that traits can be influenced by the environment? |
|||
|
3-LS3-1. Analyze and interpret data to
provide evidence that plants and animals have traits inherited from parents
and that variation of these traits exists in a group of similar organisms.
3-LS3-1A:
Many characteristics of organisms are inherited from their parents. 3-LS3-1B: Different organisms vary in how they look and function because they have different inherited information. I can identify evidence that plants and animals have traits that are inherited. |
  Why
do plants have different colors? | ||
|
3-LS3-1B: Different organisms vary in how they look and function because they have different inherited information. I can explain that the differences in traits can be caused by the environment. |
 Illustrate
how plants change over time. | ||
|
LS3-2-A:
Inheritance of Traits: Other characteristics result from individuals’
interactions with the environment, which can range from diet to learning.
Many characteristics involve both inheritance and environment.
LS-2-B:
Variation of Traits: The environment also affects the traits that an
organism develops.
I can analyze and explain the effects of different environments on the growth of mustard seeds. I can explain if different traits in plants and animals are inherited, affected by the environment or both. |

I can analyze the effects of climate change on an organism's traits. |
