How are traits inherited from generation to generation? Join Megan in this 20 minute introduction to Mendel’s laws of inheritance for students in grades 5 through 8. By studying inherited traits in pea plants, we can understand how our own traits are passed down over generations. A discussion of dominant and recessive traits will encourage students to study themselves as well as family members in this exciting activity. Worksheet and handout available on the "resources" tab!

LS3.A and LS3.B Inheritance and Variation of Traits, LS1.B: Growth and Development of Organisms (LS3 Heredity)

One of the best parts of this activity is seeing the many different monsters that are drawn by students and discussing how despite having the same set of traits (same mom and dad) they each ended up with a different set of traits. We talk a lot about how we look similar to our parents but not exactly like them. We also talk about how our siblings are not exactly like us physically.

Download a free worksheet (PDF) to help students get to grips with which traits are inherited and which are acquired. With this cut-and-paste activity, they’ll look at and sort 10 different traits. You'll find the link to the download under number 3 on the blog post. Read the rest of the blog post for other ideas for teaching inherited traits and characteristics in science.

Mendel cross-bred plants with 2 or more traits and found that each trai t was inherited independently of the other and produced its own 3:1 ratio. For example, a plant with round, yellow seeds crosse...

Learn about Gregor Mendel, the father of genetics. Learn his experiments with pea plants and how his principles of inheritance improved our understanding of heredity.

Students will identify technologies that have changed the way humans affect the inheritance of desired traits in organisms; compare and contrast selective breeding methods to genetic engineering techniques; and analyze data to determine the best solution for cultivating selected desired traits in organisms.

Teach structure and function for fourth grade by dissectin a flower. Aligns with 4th-grade NGSS 4-LS1-1 and NGSS 4-LS1-2 Students can learn a lot about the structure and function of different parts of the flower by dissecting one. They can also learn about pollination and pollinators. Dissecting a flower is a great investigation. Great for fourth grade science.
