Unit 11: Introduction to Classification


 * 12a: ****understand that all organisms are composed of one or more cells **


 * 12b: ****recognize that the presence of a nucleus determines whether a cell is prokaryotic or eukaryotic **


 * 12c: ****recognize that the broadest taxonomic classification of living organisms is divided into currently recognized Domains **


 * 12d: ****identify the basic characteristics of organisms, including prokaryotic or eukaryotic, unicellular or multicellular, **
 *  autotrophic or heterotrophic, and mode of reproduction, that further classify them in the currently recognized Kingdoms **

Guiding Questions:

1. What are the three domains of classification for living organisms? 2. What basic characteristics do I need to know about organisms in order to classify into a kingdom? 3. How do scientists classify things? <span style="color: #237a21; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">4. Why is it important to demonstrate safety practices in Science? <span style="color: #237a21; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">5. What wise choices can be made upon completion of lab with unused lab materials? <span style="color: #237a21; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">6. What safety equipment needs to be used in order to prevent accidents in the science lab?

<span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);">Classification Shuffle
<span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);">Group students in pairs, and ask each group to create six flashcards – one for each taxonomic kingdom. Have students use either index cards or cut out blank cards from white paper, ensuring that all groups have the same sized cards. Tell students they should not write the kingdom name on the cards. Instruct students to use the Internet to find photos of one organism that represents each kingdom. Students can go online and browse around the Encyclopedia of Life.

<span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);">Ask students to draw the organism on one side of the card. On the reverse side of the card, students list some of the organism’s key characteristics.

<span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);">On the top half of the card, students list characteristics that identify it into the domain and kingdom. On the bottom half of the card, ask students to list any other characteristics they think scientists may use to classify the organism into a smaller grouping. Students draw a line between these two different characteristic lists to clearly separate them.

<span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);">When all the cards are completed, shuffle all of the cards together and then deal them out equally among the students. Designate three “domain stations” where students sort and place the cards in the appropriate domain. Once all the cards are sorted, review the collection at each station, asking students as a class to verify that every card belongs in that domain. Then, set up six stations, so that each station represents a kingdom. Deal out each domain in three different sorting rounds. For each round, ask students to place their dealt cards into the correct kingdom. When all cards are sorted, review each kingdom to verify accurate placement.

1. Kahoot! Students go to the app or https://kahoot.it/#/. ... Students may work individually or in small groups 2. Teacher goes to Kahoot teacher link. ... Click 'me' at the top and choose 'Taxonomy Review' 3. Afterwards, students can work in small groups do 2-3 on a web adventures game MedMyst Web Adventure
