Identify inherited traits — free printable Grade 3 Science worksheet

Grade 3 students investigate inherited traits, learning to distinguish characteristics that are passed from parent to offspring through genetics from those that result from the environment. Teachers can use this life science worksheet as an introduction to heredity concepts, a pre-lab for observational activities, or a reading comprehension anchor within a traits and adaptations unit. Understanding inheritance at this level prepares students for more complex genetics study in later grades.

Learning objectives

  • Define inherited traits and give examples found in animals and humans
  • Distinguish inherited traits from acquired or environmentally influenced characteristics
  • Identify examples of inherited traits in parent-offspring comparisons
