This is HL 5. Correctly head your loose leaf paper, letter your paper A-H, and write the correct name of the proper Norno by the correct letter.

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.

Students completed the virtual Glencoe lab How are Living Things Classified Into Groups? You can find the activity at the following site. Cut and paste it into your URL address: http://www.glencoe.com/sites/common_assets/science/virtual_labs/E07/E07.html

Students then visited the site A Touch Of Class to practice grouping organisms by similarities. You can find the activity at the following URL address; simply cut and paste into your browser window: http://www.sciencenetlinks.com/interactives/class.html

Home learning 5 can be found at the top of this blog. If you expect to be absent, due to the Sports Jam, you MUST turn in your home learning prior to going!
