Title

LS3: Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits

Core Idea

LS3: Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits

LS3.A: Inheritance of Traits
LS3.B: Variation of Traits

 

In LS3: Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits, performance expectations are designed for students to develop an understanding of how organisms pass traits from one generation to the next and that the environment also affects the traits that an organism develops.

 

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-LS3-2 Use evidence to support the explanation that traits can be influenced by the environment.
