Core Idea - Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits
[1.LS.3.1] - Use information from observations (first-hand and from media) to identify similarities and differences among individual plants or animals of the same kind. Clarification Statements: Examples of observations could include that leaves from the same kind of plant are the same shape but can differ in size; Inheritance, animals that undergo metamorphosis, or hybrids are not expected.
[PreK.LS.3.1] -
Use observations to explain that young plants and animals are like but not exactly like their parents. Clarification Statement: Examples of observations include puppies that look similar but not exactly the same as their parents.
[PreK.LS.3.2] -
Use observations to recognize differences and similarities among themselves and their friends.
[3.LS.3.1] -
Provide evidence, including through the analysis of data, that plants and animals have traits inherited from parents and that variation of these traits exist in a group of similar organisms.Clarification Statements: Examples of inherited traits that vary can include the color of fur, shape of leaves, length of legs, and size of flowers; Focus should be on non-human examples. State Assessment Boundary: Genetic mechanisms of inheritance or prediction of traits are not expected in state assessment.
