Variation and identical twins

This resource is designed to promote discussion about characteristics that can be inherited and also those affected by the environment. It explores the differences and similarities between a pair of twins in a text which students read and analyse.

There are two versions of the resource, the text has been reduced and questions adjusted in version B to open the topic to students who need more support.

Example questions

1. What features are the same in the twins?
2. Why do Mateo and Felipe have some features which are exactly the same?
