3rd Grade (SCI) Science Standards [LS3] Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits
SCI-03.LS3.01 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.
Clarification Statement: Patterns are the similarities and differences in traits shared between offspring and their parents, or among

inherited from their parents.
Different organisms vary in how they look and
function because they have different inherited
information.
