    The document provides directions for a performance task that requires students to research inherited and acquired traits of native and foreign plants and animals in a Hawaiian rainforest. As a botanist or zoologist, students will design questions to guide their research, utilize various resources to learn about inherited and acquired traits, develop models to communicate the differences between these traits, and provide examples of how the traits influence survival. A scoring guide evaluates students' work based on inclusion of key research elements like questions, examples, sources of evidence, and models.

    Performance Task 1 In Detail

    Task 1: S5L2b: Inherited and Acquired Traits


    Student Directions:
    5 E Model of Instruction
    1-Engage
    Native plants and animals found in the park are becoming endangered because of the rapid
    introduction of foreign species that take over the rainforest each year. As the botanist or
    zoologist for Hawaii’s Rainforest, you are responsible for determining what traits and/or
    behaviors are present in the native animals and plants which influences their ability to either
    survive or caused them to become extinct in the rainforest.

    As the botanist /zoologist, you are responsible for designing a model to compare and contrast
    inherited and acquired physical traits which influences animals and plants to survive in the
    rainforest.

    2- Explore
    The Botanist/Zoologist will design and ask a minimum of 5 questions which will enable your
    team to learn about instinctive and learned traits of the foreign and native plants and animals
    in this rainforest.

    3- Explain
    The Botanist/Zoologist will utilize a variety of resources (multi-media, trade books, webquests
    and inquiry based experiments) to obtain information about inherited and acquired traits.

    Based on the inquiry based learning experiences embedded within the task, the
    Botanist/Zoologist will be able to analyze and evaluate information to gain an in-depth
    understanding about the inherited and acquired traits of the animals and plants living in the
    rainforest.

    NOTE: Possible resources activities: #1 (a lesson module titled, “The Basics of Heredity” from
    the Genetics Science Learning Center)

    4- Elaborate
    With the use of evidence, the Botanist/Zoologist will utilize models to communicate the
    differences between acquired and inherited traits. The Botanist/Zoologist will include a
    description of at least 2 examples of inherited and 2 examples of learned traits which
    influences the animals’ and plants’ ability to survive in the rainforest.

    5- Evaluate
    Suggested models include but are not limited to: charts, graphs, Venn diagrams.
    Direct instruction should be provided for this content.
    Some and suggested resources for acquired and inherited traits are as follows: #1 (a video
    titled, “Inherited and Acquired Traits (Traits of Livings)” from WatchKnowLearn.org)

    Resources:
    #1 – Some “traits” activities from the Genetics Science Learning Center

    Teacher Notes:
    Students should have an opportunity to explore inherited and acquired traits that occur in
    humans, so direct instruction and investigations should occur to help students develop a
    deeper level of understanding of the concept.

    To make this a manageable task for the students, they can conduct research on one animal and
    plant.
