Analyze and interpret data to provide evidence that plants and animals have traits inherited from parents and that variation of these traits exists in a group of similar organisms.
Clarification statement: Patterns are the similarities and differences in traits shared between offspring and their parents, or among siblings. Emphasis is on organisms other than humans.
Assessment boundary: Assessment does not include genetic mechanisms of inheritance and prediction of traits. Assessment is limited to non-human examples.

Performance Level Descriptions
Every Grade 5 Science Test question on 3-LS3-1 is written to match one of the performance level descriptions (PLDs) below.
Level 1: Identify the evidence that an observable trait of a plant or animal was inherited from its parents or identify a variation in a trait that exists in a group of similar organisms. Spring 2026 · Q29 Spring 2025 · Q1 Spring 2025 · Q2
Level 2: Identify a pattern in the data to provide evidence that plants and/or animals have traits inherited from parents or that there is variation in these traits that exists in a group of similar organisms.
Level 3: Analyze and interpret data to provide evidence that plants and animals have traits inherited from parents, and that variation of these traits exists in a group of similar organisms.
Level 4: Analyze and interpret similarities and differences in patterns of multiple data sets to provide evidence that plants and animals have traits inherited from parents, and that there is variation in these traits that exist in a group of similar organisms.
