Honeybee Hive
3-LS3: Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits
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.
Inheritance
3-LS3-2: Use evidence to support the explanation that traits can be influenced by the environment.
Effect of Environment on New Life Form
Growing Plants
Inheritance
Measuring Trees

3-LS4-1: Analyze and interpret data from fossils to provide evidence of the organisms and the environments in which they lived long ago.
Building Pangaea
3-LS4-2: Use evidence to construct an explanation for how the variations in characteristics among individuals of the same species may provide advantages in surviving, finding mates, and reproducing.
Natural Selection
3-LS4-3: Construct an argument with evidence that in a particular habitat some organisms can survive well, some survive less well, and some cannot survive at all.
