Young scholars classify, weight and organize items during this activity. This activity works great as or with an introduction of the Periodic Table of Elements.

Young scholars view a cloud slide show presentation and identify types of clouds. They estimate height based on cloud's appearance. They discuss the vague nature of cloud nomenclature and compare it to the English standard measurement...

Students develop a Taxonomic Key for marine invertebrates from pictures they are given after practicing together with common objects, such as shoes. They then compare their key to a provided Ocean Invertebrates Taxonomic Key.

Second graders identify different types of animals on a two charts titled "Mammals" and "Not Mammals." They listen as the book, "They Call Me Wooly," by Keith DuQuette is read to them. Students are asked what is different about the...

Students discuss what makes a living thing (for example, cellular respiration) and collect a selection of living things from outside. They divide their organisms into plants and animals and create a key for the divisions.

This animal science PowerPoint introduces various types of animals that live in groups. The slides contain real photographs along with explanations of why animals live in groups and what their roles are.

Students explain the classification process of organisms. In this biology lesson, students practice writing the names of organisms scientifically. They answer the dichotomous key and discuss answers as a class.
