Learning Targets
- I can make observations of young plants and animals. #dok1
- I can identify traits that are similar between parents and offspring. #dok2
- I can identify traits that are different between parents and offspring. #dok2
- I can construct an evidence-based account that shows how offspring are like, but not exactly like, their parents. #dok2
- I can analyze traits in young plants and animals to explain the variation from their parents. #dok3
Big Ideas
- Young plants and animals share similarities with their parents, but are not identical.
- Observing traits in living things helps us understand inheritance and variation.
Essential Questions
- What traits are passed from parents to their offspring in plants and animals?
- How are young plants and animals similar to their parents?
- How are young plants and animals different from their parents?
- Why do offspring look like but not exactly like their parents?
- How can observations help provide evidence about traits in living things?
