The interactive notebook set includes ten activities that you can use to supplement your classification INB. This is 100% easy cutting to make things a bit less time consuming and easier for you!
These activities do not require an interactive notebook; you could use them as traditional classwork, as well!
The following activities are included:
Classification Cards- 6 Cards for each Kingdom:
Animalia, Fungi, Plantae, Protista, Archaea, Eubacteria
Classification Reverse Flip Book- students can choose any species they'd like (usually it ends up being their favorite plant or animal) and classify it using this flip book. It is a reverse flip book, so it gets smaller with each flip to represent the smaller taxonomy levels from domain to species.
Domain and Kingdom Branch- this makes great note taking or review. Students determine characteristics among the 6 kingdoms and use them to fill in the a chart.
Interpreting Diagrams- Students look at a "snippet" of the animal kingdom and use it to answer questions about how related (or unrelated) groups of organisms are.
Taxonomy Ladder- A flip up taxonomy ladder with a real life example that students can use for reference.
Taxonomy Ladder Warm Up- students color each organism listed that matches the description from Domain to Species (can be used as homework or classwork).
Kingdom Warm up- a fill-in-the-blank warm up or bellringer for the 6 kingdoms. Could also be used as homework or classwork.
Kingdom Pizza Wheel- Have students list information that you think they need extra help with.
Advanced Options for High School:
Molecular Clocks- how we can use mutations to help determine evolutionary time.
Traditional vs. Evolutionary Classification- using the classic example of crabs, limpets, and barnacles, and how their classification has changed with new findings.
