Inherited characteristics
遗传特征
Description
Analyse 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
Mastery Evidence
- Define inherited traits as characteristics passed from parents to offspring
- Collect or interpret data showing variation within a group (e.g. different heights, colours, sizes)
- Explain that while traits are inherited, there is natural variation among individuals of the same species
Assessment Prompt
If your child measures the height of all the sunflowers in the garden, can they see that they're all sunflowers but each one is a slightly different height?
