Students play a game where they classify the different characteristics of trees. In this tress lesson plan, students also use tree vocabulary and describe benefits of trees.

"Does King Phillip Cry Over Flimsy Grass Stems?" You might not answer that question with this exhaustive activity, but your biology class will get the full scoop on the hierarchy of biological classification with this resource. It...

Students examine the many uses of plants and trees by looking at their clothing. They make lists of products that come from plants and trees and their uses.

Students identify tree species by their leaf characteristics. In this dendrology lesson, students learn leaf vocabulary and collect leaves. They identify the leaves using the leaf characteristics and the vocabulary that they learned.

Students analyze relationships about animals and create a model of classifications based on both the similarities and the differences. They also discuss a dichotomous key before they create a cladograph using different types of candy.

Fourth graders design a classification system to categorize animate and inanimate objects. They discuss the advantages of grouping things as they classify buttons, leaves, shells.

In this classification of life worksheet, students use an on line source to answer questions about how species are classified, named and grouped. They give the classification of a bear, an orchid and a sea cucumber.

Students read and respond the book, The Giving Tree. In this literary unit, students listen to the story and discuss the story using Bloom's Taxonomy. Students write a letter of empathy to the tree and observe the changes the tree went...

Students analyze the complexity of organism classifications based on certain criteria.  In this classifying organisms lesson plan students study taxonomy and gather information and leaves to do their own experiment on...

Third graders practice using classification techniques to identify local trees.  For this plant life instructional activity, 3rd graders discuss how trees differ from other plants and what characteristics are unique to trees alone....

Fifth graders identify the ways people use trees. In this Science lesson, 5th graders play a word game with tree classification. Students determine the need for protecting natural resources.

Students solve a mystery of the identification of a unknown organism by comparing its morphological characteristics to those in a tree of life classification poster. They compare the observable characteristics of the specimen and...

Students investigate various tree leaves and use a dichotomous key to classify the leaves. In this leaf classification instructional activity, students study various types of leaves and their Genus. Students record observations for each...

High schoolers construct a phylogenetic tree for various automobiles and trucks after considering important characteristics of these "organisms". They work in small groups to construct the trees and complete a set of questions then they...

Students explore different types of trees. In this tree lesson, students use a digital camera to photograph trees in their area and upload them to a computer. Students will share their findings by using their photos to make a booklet or...
