Inherited Traits
Identify traits passed from parents to young.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 27
- A trait is a feature of a living thing, like beak shape or leaf shape.
- Inherited traits are passed from parents to offspring. Young tigers get stripes, and acorns grow into oaks.
- Offspring get a mix, so brothers and sisters in a litter can look different. You'll learn how this works in later grades.
Georgia Standards of Excellence in Science:
- S5L2.b — Ask questions to compare and contrast inherited and acquired physical traits. (Clarification statement: Punnett squares and genetics are taught in future grades.)
