Instructional module focusing on binomial nomenclature. Discussion includes Carolus Linnaeus' taxonomic classification system for naming all species. Site also includes an interactive practice quiz and links relating to the topic.

This page discusses how the cladistic level of classification includes information from molecular biology to establish evolutionary relationships. The page discusses how this information is used to do this.

An explanation of how living organisms are named and the importance of naming them accurately.

A teacher lesson plan that allows students to pretend to be an alien taxonomist working with fictitious animals to create their scientific name, classification chart, design a dichotomous key, and create a food web.

This is a great lesson plan that combines Karoytypes and evolution. Students will recognize that the chromosomes of chimpanzees and humans are remarkably similar, then correlate that to their evolutionary relationship.

Article explaining the basic characteristics of mammals, their diet, reproduction, behavior, conservation concerns, taxonomy, and their evolution. (Published: September 23, 2010)

AmphibiaWeb, a site inspired by global amphibian declines, is an online system that allows free access to information on amphibian biology and conservation. This site is filled with amphibian facts, a glossary of terms, species numbers,...
