This page is the do now for classification.
This page should be read to learn more about classification and to help you answer your home learning questions.
This is HL #3. Be sure to follow all written instructions. Answers only on properly headed loose leaf paper.
Students will be able to:
use information from textbooks, supplementary texts, internet access, and classroom discussions to
-classify organisms into simple categories and discuss the limitations of classification systems.
-analyze and describe how and why organisms are classified according to shared characteristics with emphasis on the Linnaean system combined with the concept of Domains.
Due to FCAT testing, class may not meet each of these days.
Students discussed classification of living things, including the classification scheme. They discussed the difference between genus and species, and learned about domains.
Students viewed video on changing nature to determine how changes affecting a particular population also affect other populations. These changes might be with the population themselves, or with the environment, habitat or niche of the organism.
Students completed notes on organization of living things. Students also received HL #3, which is due on Thursday, and can be found at the top of this blog.
