A whimsical dichotomous key for Thanksgiving. There are not many things we can do with themes in secondary science classes but this fun dichotomous key just may do the trick. There are 22 traditional Thanksgiving organisms / foods the students need to match to their scientific names.
After the dichotomous key portion you can have the students research the scientific name in order to find the common names. Tell them to beware some of the common names are used more than once.
The dichotomous key with two different answer sheet forms and key. There is a student sheet and extension suggestions.
I usually use this as a cooperative lesson with my students paired up so they can work the dichotomous key together.
This activity can be used in its power point format to upload to a classroom website and have the students use laptops or iPads to go through the pictures with their dichotomous key and answer sheet in hand. Displaying the pictures of organisms in a power point allows for students to see more details without the loss of clarity that happens so often with photocopied dichotomous keys.
As an instructor you may choose to use the power point for whole class instruction and work through the dichotomous key with all your students participating. This works well with smaller classes, tutoring sessions or as an enrichment activity for the gifted population.
If you do not have a class website or technology for you students you can still use this dichotomous key successfully. The slides can be printed out as task cards. I have placed little centers around the room and had the students move from center to center classifying the organisms. I like this activity because it keeps my hyper students in constant motion. Laminating the cards will give you years of use.
An additional option is to simply print a few slides per page. If you are using color copies you would only need a few sets and have the students work cooperatively. The students do not really need to write on anything except for the answer sheet.
This activity has quite a few different ways it can be implemented into your classroom I hope you find a method that will work best for your class. Please come back to leave feedback for your TpT credit and remember to follow me for free monthly gifts.
Great lesson for after state testing or when the kids get antsy before a holiday break!

This is a one page brochure foldable which covers the five types of symbiosis: mutualism, commensalism, parasitism, predation, endosymbiosis, along with free living organisms.
Students have places to write definitions and there are data charts included for each symbiotic relationship so students can see how populations are affected by symbiotic relationships.
The foldable only needs to be copied front to back. The key is included. the brochure is small and can be easily glued into an interactive notebook.
Symbiosis is an interaction between organisms where they are so dependent on each other they are nearly as one. This bundle has a power point for the initial introduction to symbiosis: endosymbiosis, mutualism, commensalism, parasitism, predation and free living organisms. There are examples of each with graphs to display the relationships between the organisms.
Students will be able to determine the types of symbiosis organisms are engaged in. I included the power point called Symbiosis Quest Power Point which is an activity where students have to identify the type of symbiotic relationship. It is a great follow up activity to this lesson. The slides can also printed as task cards. An answer document and key is included.

Taxonomy is a system of classification used by scientists to organize organisms. The power point goes over the taxonomic levels and the main characteristics of the three domains and six kingdoms.
Students will know the levels of taxonomy and the characteristics of the main categories and should be able to classify organisms from a macro and micro level. A brief review of viruses is included for comparison so students can see how viruses are not living.
The INCLUDED Classification chart can be filled out while going over this power point. It is two pages and in landscape style so it can easily be placed into a Interactive Notebook.
This Cryptozoology Dichotomous Key is a great secondary science Halloween activity or end of year wrap up when the AP Biology or state exams finish. We all know how antsy high school students get when Halloween comes around.
You can keep them entertained with taxonomy over monsters, beasts, mythological creatures and strange diseases. This dichotomous key is a mixture of reality and myth. Students are given 25 organisms they need to identify. I also included two suggestions for extension activities.
I usually use this as a cooperative lesson with my students paired up so they can work the dichotomous key together.
I upload the power point to the class website and have my students work with a partner on a laptop.It is a lot of fun to hear them talk about each situation using educational dialogue. This is also a good activity for flipped classrooms.
If you do not have a set of classroom laptops or ipads you can also print the power point slides and place small groupings around the room and turn it into a centers activity. You could also print the slides out as class sets.
This power point presentation can be done over a few days. It begins with the atom, chemical bonding and the elements of life (CHNOPS). Then it goes over dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis followed by the four biomolecule groups: carbohydrates, lipids, protein, nucleic acids.
This power point question set has 25 slides where the students need to figure out what level of life is being described. Students can choose biomolecules, organelles, cells, tissue, organ, organ system, organism, population, community, ecosystem, or biosphere for their answers. It is a great way to get the students talking about what they learned in class and applying it to real life examples. I have the answer sheet and answer key included.
You can show the power point to the whole class or upload it to your classroom website and allow the students to work individually or pairs . Another option is to print the slides and have stations set up around the room for the students to visit and answer.
