29 NGSS Topics for Third Grade Life Science: Inheritance and Variation of Traits: Life Cycles and Traits Life Science: Interdependent Relationships in Ecosystems: Environmental Impacts on Organisms Earth and Space Systems: Weather and Climate Physical Science: Forces and Interactions 29
30 Core Idea LS3: Inheritance and Variation of Traits Life Cycles and Traits The performance expectations in third grade help students formulate answers to questions such as: How are plants, animals, and environments of the past similar or different from current plants, animals, and environments? NGSS Third Grade Related Content link Students are able to construct an explanation using evidence for how the variations in characteristics among individuals of the same species may provide advantages in surviving, finding mates, and reproducing. 30
31 Support in Framework Content Knowledge Framework p
32 Disciplinary Core Idea LS3.A Inheritance of Traits LS3.B Variation of Traits Many characteristics of organisms are inherited from their parents. (3-LS3-1) Different organisms vary in how they look and function because they have different inherited information. (3-LS3-1) 32
33 Support in NGSS - Storylines 33
34 College and Career Readiness DCI Progression: Grades 1-12 High School: In all organisms the genetic instructions for forming species characteristics are carried in the chromosomes. Each chromosome consists of a single very long DNA molecule and each gene on the chromosome is a particular segment of that DNA. The instructions for forming species characteristics are carried in DNA. Middle School: Genes are located in the chromosomes of cells. Each gene controls the production of a specific protein, which affects the traits of the individual. Changes in the genes can result in changes to proteins which can change traits. Third Grade: Many characteristics of organisms are inherited from their parents. Other characteristics result from individuals interactions with the environment, which can range from diet to learning. Many characteristics involve both inheritance and environment. First Grade: Organisms have characteristic that can be similar or different. Animals and plants are very much, but not exactly like, their parents and other animals of the same kind. Edited from Framework, pp High School Middle School 3 rd Grade 1 st Grade 34
35 Support in Framework - Endpoints 35 Grade Band Endpoints for LS3.A (and LS3.B) By the end of grade 5. Many characteristics of organisms are inherited from their parents. Other characteristics result from individuals interactions with the environment, which can range from diet to learning. Many characteristics involve both inheritance and environment. Offspring acquire a mix of traits from their biological parents. Different organisms vary in how they look and function because they have different inherited information. In each kind of organism there is variation in the traits themselves, and different kinds of organisms may have different versions of the trait. The environment also affects the traits that an organism develops differences in where they grow or in the food they consume may cause organisms that are related to end up looking or behaving differently. =134
36 Performance Expectation 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. [Clarification Statement: Patterns are the similarities and differences in traits shared between offspring and their parents, or among siblings. Emphasis is on organisms other than humans.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include genetic mechanisms of inheritance and prediction of traits. Assessment is limited to non-human examples.] 36
37 37
38 Scientific and Engineering Practices 1. Asking probing questions and defining problems 2. Developing and using models 3. Planning and carrying out investigations 5. Using mathematics and computational thinking 8. Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information 4. Analyzing and interpreting data (Identified in the PE) 6. Developing explanations and designing solutions 7. Engaging in argument from evidence 38
39 Check Point What questions do you have about Making sense of 3rd grade performance expectations and/or Preparing to teach the content of inheritance and variation of traits 39
40 Questions for Kimber What would you like to know about how Kimber prepares to teach unfamiliar science content? 40
41 Poll: Inheritance and variation of traits Which response best reflects how you have taught inheritance and/or variation of traits in the elementary grades (or observed it being taught in K-5)? a. Create real or imagined organisms that show how particular adaptations are related to survival (e.g., camouflage). b. Collect data about how offspring look like (and don t look like) parents and siblings. c. Match pictures of animals and/or plants to offspring. d. Other (please describe briefly) 41 After you have answered the poll, watch as the results unfold and read the chat box for teacher s descriptions of other activities.

45 Adaptations Unit Storyline Question Claim Evidence Reasoning Investigation Yes. We were able to identify our team s individual cockroach because Do cockroaches have individual differences? Close observation of individual adult cockroaches (e.g., ours was 7 cm and had light and dark stripes on the abdomen) There are variations of traits in a species that provides a survival advantage for some individuals in a given environment. Each team closely observes their cockroach, records its coloration and size, and tries to identify it when mixed in with others. 45

All insects share a common body plan. Cockroaches have special adaptations for their environment. Adaptations are features or behaviors that provide a survival advantage. There are variations of traits in a species that provides a survival advantage for some individuals in a given environment. observe. Each team gets a cockroach to observe closely. Each team gets a cockroach to handle and observe closely. Each team closely observes their cockroach, records its coloration and size, and tries to identify it when mixed in with others.

We were Close observation There are Each team closely cockroaches able to identify of individual adult variations of traits observes their have our team s cockroaches (e.g., in a species that cockroach, records individual individual ours was 7 cm provides a survival its coloration & size, differences? cockroach and had light and advantage for & tries to identify it because dark stripes on some individuals when mixed in with the abdomen) in a given others. Do variations in traits help individuals to survive in a particular environment? How does the environment influence survival of a species? 47 Some toothpick grasshoppers were able to blend in with the grass better than others, so they avoided predators. Over 4 generations, there were more brown dot beetles in the group than any other color because they were better camouflaged. We started with 50 of each color of toothpick. The yellow and green survived predation the best because they had the most left (48 and 39). We started with 50 of each color of dots. After each round of predation, the surviving dots got to reproduce. The data shows the numbers of each color environment. Camouflage is an adaptation that allows organisms to blend in with its environment. Variations in color within a species can result in some individuals to have a survival advantage. Organisms of a group that survive & reproduce in an environment pass their traits to their offspring. Over time the traits of survivors become more common in the group.
