About:

This science worksheet introduces heredity and inherited traits through a relatable example of parent cats and their kittens. Students examine pictures, identify which traits the kitten inherited from mother and father (including fur length, tail length, and coloring), and draw another possible kitten from the same parents. Works well for early-elementary science units on genetics and animal traits.
