Description
- View live representatives from each of the 6 major kingdoms
- Group organisms and compare the results to a dichotomous key
- Learn how to utilize a classification key to group organisms
In this laboratory activity, students use a guided-inquiry technique as they work together to explore classification of organisms. They study binomial nomenclature and work with dichotomous keys to determine the kingdom and further classification of various organisms. Kit includes enough materials (live organisms, 15 self-study cards to enhance viewing the organisms with a microscope [not included], slides, coverslips, inoculating loops, hand lenses, pipets, and more) for at least 30 students working in groups. Receive a FREE digital Teacher’s Manual and Student Guide with kit purchase.
