Students are guided through a process in which three questions are addressed by retrieving beta hemoglobin sequences from online databases, and using online tools to compare those sequences in student-selected animals.

Students examine why scientists classify living organisms. They list and classify items they buy at the grocery store, sort and classify leaves, explore various websites, and write a biography of Carolus Linnaeus.

In this biology worksheet, students identify and write the various species that are still present today. Then they define evolution using three words. Students also describe what a fossil is and give some examples related to a particular...

Learners investigate plants and insects.  In this science classification lesson, students create separate categories for insects and plants by characteristics.  Learners discover scientific names of insects.

First graders examine seeds. In this Science lesson plan, 1st graders classify and dissect seeds. Students sprout their own seeds in the classroom.

While a short review of animals and their classifications, this could be useful when discussing this topic in the classroom. There is a list of questions at the end to help review the main ideas. Reptiles, amphibians, and mammals are...
