When classifying a group of objects in order to organize them on a classification key, what sequence of steps do we usually follow?
Today we did an assignment classifying the class's shoes. If you missed class today, find 10 objects from home and make a dichotomous key using those objects.
HW: finish key if needed

Today we took 5 minutes of class to finish Life in the Field and Living or Nonliving? then turned both assignments in.
Then we started a practice packet classifying "wacky creatures." Here's the worksheet for that, but DON'T DO the "Treasures of the Barrier Reef" or "Harry Potter" section.
HW: anything left on "Wacky Creatures"

- How are living things classified?
- What is a dichotomous key? How are dichotomous keys used in science?
