By the end of this lesson, you’ll grasp the significance of classification, its historical development, and the modern genetic insights that have reshaped it.
Learning Objective:
By the end of this lesson, students will be able to describe the 3 Domains and 5 Kingdoms Classification Systems, and understand the role of Genetic Analysis in evolving the 3 Domains theory.
Key Takeaways for Successful Students:
Recognize the similarities and differences among organisms.
Comprehend the purpose of classification in organizing organisms.
Trace the origins of classification to Carl Linnaeus’ anatomical analysis.
Apply the Linnean System for classification.
Connect the Linnean System to the concept of similarities and differences.
Explore the rationale behind the addition of the 3 domain system.
Appreciate that classification is a dynamic process in an ever-changing world.
Lesson Structure:
Starter (5 minutes): Engage students in a brainstorming session, comparing the similarities and differences between a human and a frog. Encourage them to consider other animal comparisons for extension.
Teaching Part 1 (5 minutes): Why do we need Classification?
Highlight the significance of classification for the study of organisms.
Emphasize how classification mitigates language barriers and confusion in naming organisms.
Teaching Part 2 (10 minutes): Linnaean Classification
Explore the history of classification, with focus on Carl Linnaeus.
Explain the Linnaean hierarchical system (Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species).
Illustrate the increasing specificity of classification levels.
Activity 1 (5 minutes): Students research the classification of organisms they’ve interacted with and present their binomial names in the correct format.
Activity 2 (15 minutes): Card Exercise: Guide students in sorting names into appropriate classification levels, fostering hands-on understanding.
Teaching Part 3 (8 Minutes): Watch an engaging educational video on the domains of life to reinforce the concept visually.
