Students compare and contrast the role of the honeybee in nature. They find information by using a variety of resources that could include the internet. Students take part in a paper and pencil formal evaluation with questions that...

Students explore the evolution of birds. For this biology lesson, students research articles that discuss evidence about the ancestry of birds. They discuss their findings with the group and draw a journal magazine cover highlighting...

The Tree of Life is a multi-authored, Internet distributed project containing information about phylogeny and biodiversity. The Tree of Life can be used to locate information about a particular group of organisms through their taxonomy.

In this science lesson, young scholars look at how animals have traditionally been classified in a tree of life diagram by examining the characteristics of plastic eggs. They then analyze the genetic code assigned for each egg and look...

Using their own classification methods students will identify the types of trees found around their school and neighborhoods. Students will then present their classification methods to the class. Later students will use dichotomous tree...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Identify the differences between Phylogenetic Classification and the Linnaean Classification systems. Recognize and know how to interpret a phylogenetic tree and a...

An online resource for tree identification by common name, scientific name, leaf, or fruit.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Introduces phylogenetic classification and compares it with the Linnaean classification.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Introduces Linnaean classification.

Identify the four new kingdoms that were added to the original Linnaean taxonomy.

The Tree of Life Web Project contains information on living organisms including their history and characteristics. Over 3,000 web pages are linked together uniting all living things.

Learners go outside to look for trees and gather leaves. Working cooperatively they will sort and try to classify the trees by the characteristics of their leaves.

College-level instructor's notes describing taxonomy. Explanations and images give a chronological history of the science of classifying organisms.

Explore the classification of living things in this online, college-level textbook. Learn about taxonomy and its history through diagrams and descriptive information.

Learn about the diversity of species on Earth by exploring a cladogram, a graph-like tree of life that illustrates relatedness among species. Includes instructions for reading cladograms and a pie chart that summarizes the percentages of...

Identify and match insects on the insect family tree.

This page discusses how the cladistic level of classification includes information from molecular biology to establish evolutionary relationships. The page discusses how this information is used to do this.

Find out more about the Tree Swallow when you explore this clear and concise resource. This site features information ranging from characteristics and diet to behavior and life cycle. Don't miss out.

Uncover ungulate taxonomy and explore their family tree. Provides links to explore the Perissodactyla and Cetartiodactyla orders.

Constructing phylogenetic trees may be a daunting task for young scholars, but this lesson plan is a simulation of what molecular biologists must do to determine relationships. This plan is for students who have a good grasp of DNA...

Nice tree structure which shows the different separation technique needed for the two sides. Also gives examples of physical changes/separation techniques.

A visual showing how the animal kingdom is classified by traits.

A detailed website that explains the history and process of classifying animals using evolutionary, molecular, and physical characteristics relationships. Website also contains information on evolution and evolutionary processes....

An online course with interactive activities and learning exercises give students the opportunity to look at the tree of life and to determine how and why scientists believe each domain, species, and everything in between have such...
