About this worksheet
This Year 6 evolution and inheritance sheet asks pupils to sort twelve human traits over three pages. Two columns are given: Inherited Characteristics and Environmental (Acquired) Characteristics. The traits range from natural eye colour and blood group O to pierced ears, playing the violin and a suntan from the beach. Six go in each column. Two questions follow, one on the trait that was hardest to place and one asking for a new trait of each kind. The answer key gives the sort and explains why the suntan sits on the border. It follows the England National Curriculum for evolution and inheritance.
