BLOCK 7: Classification

Classification

---

Introduction

Throughout our lives we classify all sorts of things. We have a broad catagory called careers. Within that there is a group called engineers. Further down that line we divide engineers into mechanical, electrical or civil. We can go deeper yet by defining what type of electrical engineering is being done.

The world of biology is no different. Obviously we can start from whether a living organism a plant or animal. And from there we start narrowing down the type of classification we use.


As always, watch and write a summary for each of the following videos. Then write definitions for each of the vocabulary words listed in Lesson 4. After that, do the multiple choice questions indicated in Lesson 5.
