WORKSHEET Workshop

Teaching aids:

worksheet

Procedure:

The students receive the following instruction given from the teacher: “Which member of your family has “free-hanging” or “grown-together” earlobes? Write it down.”

This order can as well be given as a homework.

If the children are familiar with it, the teacher could encourage drawing a family tree. On the other hand, it can be introduced as a new concept and the students could edit it at school.

In this task, the students learn to record the relationship between the similarity of traits and ancestry systematically. Besides, this worksheet clarifies the heredity of traits.
