Inherited/Learned Traits
The
Inherited/Learned Traits unit guides students to
identify traits that are inherited and to give examples
of learned characteristics. The student will
identify traits such as language, customs, and attitudes
as learned behaviors. The student will identify traits
such as eye, hair, and skin colorings, tongue rolling,
and height as inherited traits. Basic resources include:
McGraw-Hill Science textbook, Digital Curriculum Press
titles (downloadable videos available from the
internet), CFB Smart Plus lessons/questions (password:
smart), and web-based resources.
Critical Questions:
- What is the difference between inherited traits
and learned characteristics?
- What effect do environmental factors have on
learned characteristics?
- How do students use critical thinking and problem
solving skills to make informed decisions?
Suggested Time Frame: 1 Week
