Grade 4 Science Research Project
Heredity Tree
For Science, we are learning all about traits, heredity and genes. To assist in our learning, I thought it might be nice for everyone to make a Heredity Tree.
Your tree will consist of the many traits that you have inherited from your family. These should be neatly written on a leaf for your tree, along with who you inherited this trait from.
Some of your traits can include:
- Eye Color
- Hair Color
- Hair Texture (curly or straight)
- Dimples
- Hitchhiker’s Thumb
- Attached Earlobes
- Freckles
- Tongue Roller
- Height (are you tall or short?)
Feel free to add more traits to this list and be sure to tell me where you think each trait comes from. For example: Do you have the same color hair as your mom? Are you tall, like your dad?
Remember to be as creative as you can, when making your heredity tree. You can create fall trees, wintery trees or even mango trees! J
This project is due Thursday, October 23, 2014. Have fun, get creative and learn!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Suckoo
