What educators are saying
My students are able to reflect on all of their learning throughout the modules. I love that they are able to go back and easily find definitions and update their thoughts.
Description
**You MUST have PLTW Launch in order to use this resource! Otherwise, it will not make ANY sense!**
This resource includes the launch log, and vocabulary cards for the Variation of Traits Grade 3 Module for PLTW. The Launch Logs provided for grades 3-5 are all graph paper...so I made my own that follows along with each activity, similar to the K-2 Launch Logs. I print them front to back and staple as a packet that they will use throughout the whole module. The vocabulary cards come in 2 sizes. I usually print them out on cardstock and laminate them.

NGSS3-5-ETS1-1
Define a simple design problem reflecting a need or a want that includes specified criteria for success and constraints on materials, time, or cost.
NGSS3-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. Examples of cause and effect relationships could be plants that have larger thorns than other plants may be less likely to be eaten by predators; and, animals that have better camouflage coloration than other animals may be more likely to survive and therefore more likely to leave offspring.
NGSS3-LS3-2
Use evidence to support the explanation that traits can be influenced by the environment. Examples of the environment affecting a trait could include normally tall plants grown with insufficient water are stunted; and, a pet dog that is given too much food and little exercise may become overweight.
NGSS3-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. Patterns are the similarities and differences in traits shared between offspring and their parents, or among siblings. Emphasis is on organisms other than humans. Assessment does not include genetic mechanisms of inheritance and prediction of traits. Assessment is limited to non-human examples.
NGSS3-5-ETS1-2
Generate and compare multiple possible solutions to a problem based on how well each is likely to meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
