Description

Planning your TNReady test prep lessons? This resource is perfect for reviewing inheritance and variation of traits with your 5th Grade Science class! Try these cards on heredity in a gallery walk, game of Scoot, or as a self-checking assignment with Google Classroom. This set of 20 task cards is modeled after item sampler and practice test questions. It is aligned with Tennessee state standard 5.LS3 Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits.

The following TN Science standard objectives are addressed:

1) Distinguish between inherited characteristics and those characteristics that result from a direct interaction with the environment. Apply this concept by giving examples of characteristics of living organisms that are influenced by both inheritance and the environment.

2) Provide evidence and analyze data that plants and animals have traits inherited from parents and that variations of these traits exist in a group of similar organisms.

The PDF download includes the following, to allow for maximum flexibility:

1. ½ page task cards for printing

2. ½ page and full page answer sheets for printing

3. Full page answer key for printing

4. Link to Google Slides version of task cards, with drag and drop for answer selection

5. Link to self-checking Google Sheets pixel puzzle answer sheet

6. Link to Google Docs answer key showing completed pixel puzzle

Do you use TpT Easel? Easel assessment and activity versions of the task cards are also included!

These are my favorite ways to use these task cards with my students:

-Hang the task cards around the room with tape. Give each student an answer sheet and clipboard. Set a timer and allow students to read and record answers for each card gallery walk style. When students are finished, project the Google Slides version and pixel puzzle side-by-side. Review the cards, pulling popsicle sticks to allow students to share and explain their answer choice. Enter student answers to complete the pixel puzzle as a class!

-Using Google Classroom, assign each student their own copy of the Google Slides version and Google Sheets pixel puzzle. Allow students to work independently to complete the cards, entering their answers in the pixel puzzle as they work. Each student receives immediate feedback as they work!

NGSS3-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. 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 does not include genetic mechanisms of inheritance and prediction of traits. Assessment is limited to non-human examples.
