Core StandardSCI 5.5.1
Using supporting evidence, show that traits are transferred from a parent organisms to its offspring. SCI 5.5.2 Describe how some characteristics could give a species a survival advantage in a particular environment. |
In Other WordsSCI 5.5.1
Students should be able to make and describe a chart identifying inherited traits and be able to contrast inherited traits brom learned traits or those affected by environment. They should be able to identify plants and animals that are begin different from thier parents and develop into similar organisms.

They should be able to discuss how this organism can survive their environment over another organism. |
