What educators are saying

I loved using this as a project with my high school biology classes. I was able to spread the categories and letters across my three classes to make two books. I plan to use this as a project next year as well and present a completed laminated book to our library. Thanks for creating this!
My students loved this project. Detailed and easy to understand. We turned this project into a printed classroom book. Thank you!

Description

Classification - Group Project - Create a Book of Interesting Animals.

In this classification and taxonomy lesson, individual students are assigned a letter and animal group as they work as a class to create an ABC book of unique animals covering a variety of animal phyla. They research their animal and create a page about the animal’s classification, habitat, eating and reproductive habits, all while focusing on specific adaptations of the animal that allow it to survive in its environment. This lesson can easily be adapted to small or large groups.

Included in this project:

* EDITABLE Student-friendly template to ensure formatting is consistent throughout the book.

* Extension questions which include classification and dichotomous key practice

* Student examples

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
NGSSMS-LS4-3
Analyze displays of pictorial data to compare patterns of similarities in the embryological development across multiple species to identify relationships not evident in the fully formed anatomy. Emphasis is on inferring general patterns of relatedness among embryos of different organisms by comparing the macroscopic appearance of diagrams or pictures. Assessment of comparisons is limited to gross appearance of anatomical structures in embryological development.
NGSSMS-LS4-1
Analyze and interpret data for patterns in the fossil record that document the existence, diversity, extinction, and change of life forms throughout the history of life on Earth under the assumption that natural laws operate today as in the past. Emphasis is on finding patterns of changes in the level of complexity of anatomical structures in organisms and the chronological order of fossil appearance in the rock layers. Assessment does not include the names of individual species or geological eras in the fossil record.
NGSSMS-LS4-2
Apply scientific ideas to construct an explanation for the anatomical similarities and differences among modern organisms and between modern and fossil organisms to infer evolutionary relationships. Emphasis is on explanations of the evolutionary relationships among organisms in terms of similarity or differences of the gross appearance of anatomical structures.
NGSSMS-LS4-5
Gather and synthesize information about technologies that have changed the way humans influence the inheritance of desired traits in organisms. Emphasis is on synthesizing information from reliable sources about the influence of humans on genetic outcomes in artificial selection (such as genetic modification, animal husbandry, gene therapy); and, on the impacts these technologies have on society as well as the technologies leading to these scientific discoveries.
NGSSMS-LS4-4
Construct an explanation based on evidence that describes how genetic variations of traits in a population increase some individuals’ probability of surviving and reproducing in a specific environment. Emphasis is on using simple probability statements and proportional reasoning to construct explanations.
