Cool+SecondaryYear 7ScienceBiologyEnvironmentalBiodiversity
Lesson Summary
Students learn how scientists use a hierarchical system of classification, and how living things can be classified into Kingdoms based on their features. Students use creative thinking to invent an organism and give it a scientific name. They then classify their organism based on its physical features.
Learning intentions
Students will:
- understand that classification involves grouping organisms on the basis of similarities and differences in particular features.
Success criteria
Students can:
- recognise that there are many ways we could classify living things, but that the hierarchical classification system is the one that scientists around the world use.
- implement scientific conventions when naming organisms.
