Grade 3 - Inheritance and Variation of Traits: Life Cycles and Traits
In this Storyline, students develop an understanding of life cycles by investigating and comparing plant and animal life cycles, as well as identifying similar patterns in all life cycle models. They observe and analyze patterns of traits between parents and offspring and investigate variation of traits among individuals of the same species. Students then explore the environment's influence on the traits of living things and how the variation of traits within a species may provide advantages for survival.
