Procedure:
With this task, the previous results are going to be discussed and reflected. Therefore, the teacher poses the following question to the whole class: “Do your earlobes differ from those in your family? Discuss with your partner what you have found out!” Regarding the discussion pairs or small groups would suit best.
The duration of the discussions as well as the group size can be varied. For example, the children can discuss with each other either in pairs or in larger groups of 3-5 children.
The educational objective of this task is again, to record the relationship between the similarity of traits and ancestry systematically and to clarify the heredity of traits.
