Compare Adult Humans and Animals With Their Young

This printable pack includes four differentiated worksheet options:

• Compare Yourself to Both Parents
  Students compare themselves to two parents, identifying similarities and differences in physical traits such as hair color, eye color, height, and other observable features.
• Compare Yourself to One Parent
  Perfect for a variety of family structures, this version allows students to compare themselves with a single parent while still practicing observation and comparison skills.
• Compare Yourself to One Family Member
  Students choose a trusted adult family member (such as a grandparent, aunt, uncle, or guardian) and compare traits, making the activity flexible and inclusive.
• Compare a Baby and an Adult Animal
  Students draw an adult animal and its baby and identify similarities in size, features, and abilities, reinforcing life cycle and growth concepts.
