Today, we began discussing genetics and traits. We will be continuing this discussion all week and focusing on figuring out what an animal will look like as an adult, or what an animal did look like as a baby.
Talk with your child about their traits and where they came from (or where they might have come from), and talk with them about recessive and dominant traits that run through the family. I will post a link to a very good website about Genetics on the "Fun Videos and Websites!" page.
The grades for this week will come from the students illustrating what animals will look like at a different age based on a picture they are provided. I.E. They are given a picture of a baby chimp and have to draw what the chimp will look like as an adult based on the traits they see in the photo.
