Family Tree Fun: Tomato Plants

Ponder the pedigree of plants with this worksheet about inherited traits! Inherited traits in plants can include leaf shape, plant size, fruit shape, flower color, and more. In this activity, students will review the pedigree of five tomato plants. Learners must identify which plants are the parents, which traits are similar and different between plants, and what traits the offspring inherited.

Geared toward third-, fourth-, and fifth-grade scientists, this worksheet will show learners how traits can be passed down from parent plants to their offspring. Identifying inherited traits will give students a deeper understanding of genetics and build on their ability to compare and classify plant characteristics
