Classification

__ Biologists __ study living things. They investigate how living things function and how they live together. People like doctors and dentists use their knowledge of biology to help keep people and their teeth healthy. ||
 * Biology Topic // " __ Classifying Living Things __ " //**
 * < ** BIOLOGY is… ** ||
 * The study of living things. There are many branches of Biology. Zoology is concerned with animals and Botany with plants. Entomology is the study of insects while Microbiology is the study of living things that are too small to see without the help of a microscope.

**Learning Aims** The //__ Classification topic __// aims to develop your understanding of how __//**the**//__ **o__//bserved characteristics of living things are used to establish a classification system//__** __//**.**//__
 * You will learn about what classification is and what it mean's to classify something.
 * You will review and build on your knowledge of what makes something living to include the nine characteristics of living things.
 * You will learn how to develop your own classification system using a key (dichotomous key)
 * You will learn about the Linnean system of classification for living things and where scientific names come from. -//Feel free to check out the resources listed below to get a head start on your learning!//

Part B **WALT:** Classifying animals __Key Questions:__ How are animals classified? What characteristics are used to classify animals? //Glossary Words:// __ Invertebrate __, __ Vertebrate __

**TASK:**
 * Go to Class area, Subject reference 2011, Year 7 Science (there are two), Science IWB. __Select the blue ** f ** .__
 * Select Classification of Animals from the living processes and things menu. Read through the information, you can also select the //more info// button (top right) for a personal tutorial. Complete the following table in your workbook [[file:Vertebrate-organiser.docx]], [[file:Invertebrate-organiser.docx]].
 * Take the quiz, print the result and paste into your workbook. You can now play the game by selecting the //fun feature// feature button (top left).
 * Make sure you have written your own definitions for the glossary words above into your glossary your list.

EXTENSION ACTIVITY
 * Once you have completed the table and //"flew through the quiz"// use the characteristics in the table to make your own dichotomous key! You can do this on plain A4, A3 paper (in the cupboard in LaD) or in your workbook. Refer to Science Quest 1, chapter 9, p190 on Class area (Subject reference 2011, Year 7 Science, Science TEXT)
