Learning Objectives

DCI-3-LS3.A.2

Many characteristics of organisms are inherited from their parents.

DCI-3-LS3.A.3

Other characteristics result from individuals' interactions with the environment, which can range from diet to learning. Many characteristics involve both inheritance and environment.

PE-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.

PE-3-LS3-2

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