Classification Learning Activities

Description:   Specially designed by Science Kit, this set enables teachers to create a lab experience which clearly demonstrates the cellular differentiation among the types of living organisms found in the five kingdoms.

Description:   In 1977 Carl Woese of the University of Illinois shook the world of biology and its long established tree of life when he announced the discovery of an entirely new group of organisms – the Archaea. Dismissed by many, further proof was provided when a vent organism (<i>Methanoccus</i> <i>jannaschii</i>) was sequenced.<BR><BR>Today this new phylogeny is the basis for a range of new explorations in microbial biology from the origins of life to its diversity. Developed by Susan Offner and based on the pioneering work of Woese, this kit takes students to the cutting edge of evolution, classification, and beyond.<BR><BR><i>Includes</i>: chart (61 cm x 91 cm), color transparency, student notebook (1 pad of 30 drilled worksheets), teacher’s guide.

Description:   This Dichotomous Keys kit enhances reading and observation skills.

Description:   Illustrate the diversity of life in just a few minutes each day. This comprehensive video program, developed by high school biology teacher Ronald L. Reimink, exposes students to the wide variety of plants, animals and other creatures that live on Earth.
