Why do family members look alike?

You can continue exploring traits of parents and offspring with a Mystery Science read-along. In this story a young girl notices that baby animals look a lot like the adults in their families—and then discovers that she does, too! The story includes a short exercise where students get moving by acting like farm animals.

You can find the read-along here.

Baby Animal Matchup Game

In this Mystery Science activity extension, you'll match animal parents to their babies! Print enough picture cards so that each student can have a parent animal or a baby animal. We suggest printing two copies of the parent animal cards and enough baby animals for the rest of the class since many babies can group with the same two parents.

Cut out the pictures and put each one in its own envelope to distribute to your students. Hand out the envelopes and then ask your students to find their parents or babies. You can even try variations of this game where students either use animal sounds or act out their animals in order to find one another!
