Today we used the leaf or pine needles you identified to make a Mother's Day card. Here is the template we used:
It will count on your grade for points, so come see me if you missed class so I can give you the materials you'll need.
- Differentiate between living, nonliving, and once-living things.

Journal:
1. Write the levels of classification in Linnaeus's system from broadest to narrowest from memory as well as you can.
2. Think of 5 animals you'd like to know more about.
Today we used the computers to identify a leaf or pine needles you brought in for homework. Find an online tree identification to identify one leaf or pine needles. We used www.arborday.org/trees but there are several. You'll need the correct identification for class tomorrow.
Then we did an assignment learning about the classification of some members of the animal kingdom. Here is the worksheet. We used the internet to find the classification but you could also use an encyclopedia.
HW: bring your leaf or pine needles correctly identified to class tomorrow.

HW: none
- Write down one way of remembering the classification hierarchy (there are several examples on your notes).
- What is a scientific name?

No journal today.
We made another dichotomous key in class today using "Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans." Here is the assignment. If you missed class for this assignment, you will need to buy 35 jelly beans to classify and make a key out of.
HW: anything left on the key
