About this game

This NGSS-aligned word sort activity focuses on different types of inherited traits in organisms. Students sort 12 characteristics into two categories: Physical Traits and Behavioral Traits. The activity helps students understand that both physical features and behavioral characteristics can be inherited from parents. Through this classification exercise, students develop a deeper understanding of the various ways traits can be passed down through generations and how these traits contribute to survival and adaptation.
