This week's Science News video is here
Assignment
First, please watch this short video
Then do the following:
- On a piece of paper or in a document like a Google doc, please make a diagram like this: it doesn't have to look exactly like mine.
- Now try to think of as many traits of dogs that are taught or inherited as you can, separating them using the diagram above. Remember that the difference between the two is whether the instructions on the trait are carried by the dog or whether the parents have to teach the puppy how to do the trait. I'll give you an example of each that you can use to get you started.
- An example of an inherited trait is the fur color of a dog. No one has to teach a puppy what color to be.
- An example of a trait that is taught is where a dog goes to the bathroom. A mother (or a human) has to teach a puppy where it is ok to urinate (pee) and where it is not ok.
- Please share or send the document to me
