MAP LEVEL: 1
07.0 SCIENCE
07.0.2.5.1
-- Students will recognize important contributions to the advancement of science, mathematics and technology that have been made by men and women in different cultures at different times
07.0.2.9.4
-- Students will recognize that the study of scientific explanations throughout history demonstrates how scientific knowledge changes and evolves over time, building on earlier knowledge.
07.0.5.0.5
-- Students will employ different ways of classifying organisms into groups, using a variety of common features (e.g., presence of feathers, pointy vs. smooth leaves, whether they ask their own food or get it from other sources)
07.0.5.5.1
-- Students will describe the major distinctions among the kingdoms of living things (e.g., prokaryotic/eukaryotic, nucleated/non-nucleated, heterotrophic/autotrophic)
07.0.5.5.3
-- Students will describe and analyze ways in which scientists determine the relatedness of organisms
07.0.5.9.5
-- Students will given a classification key; classify a given organism
07.0.5.9.6
-- Students will design a classification key which can be used by others to group organisms.
What is the purpose of classifying organisms?
What is the criteria by which organisms are classified?
How does our classification system employ the logic of evolution?
1. Purpose of classification systems
2. Scientific naming - binomial nomenclature
3. Use of a classification key
Students in Biology will develop the ability to:
1. Define classification and its purpose for the study of living organisms,
2. Apply the rules of binomial nomenclature,
3. Utilize a classification key when given the characteristics of an unknown organism.
-- Use of a classification key
Objective/subjective testing (50:50 percent).
