Today, you will be writing a review on a subject in science, classification and taxonomies review, remember, at least 5 sentences, make it sound like a 7th grader wrote this, and go over something you had trouble with and go over what you learned and like about classification and taxonomies.

Develop a model that categorizes organisms based on common characteristics. Explain how an organism’s scientific name correlates to the shared characteristics of taxonomic levels. Describe the similarities and differences of major physical characteristics in plants, animals, fungi, protists, and bacteria. Develop and use models to classify organisms based on the current hierarchical taxonomic structure (including the kingdoms of protists, plants, fungi, and animals). Analyze and interpret data related to the diversity of animals to support claims that all animals (vertebrates and invertebrates) share common characteristics.

Classification and taxonomies have been a bit tricky for me at first, but I have learned a lot about how scientists organize living things based on their characteristics. I really like using models to help me understand how organisms are classified into different groups. One way I remember all the new vocabulary words is by making flashcards to study. If I ever get stuck on supporting a claim, I can always go back and look at the data to help me out. Overall, I am feeling more confident about classifying organisms and understanding their relationships in the science world.
