Description
Do you need to teach about genetic and environmental factors that influence growth? In this unit, students will learn that the growth of organisms and the survival of populations is due to both genetic and environmental factors. Genetic and environmental factors play a role in the successful reproduction and growth of organisms. Students will make a scientific argument based on evidence to support the idea that genetic and environmental factors affect growth and reproduction. Students will read facts about three species and determine the genetic and environmental factors affecting reproduction, growth, and survival.
