IN pg 47 (9/21/12): Galapagos Animal Characteristics Chart
IN pg 48 (HW DUE 9/24/12): Dichotomous Key for Galapagos Island Reptiles
Use the link in the document below to go the the Galapagos Island site. Click "Classification Gallery." Complete the characteristics chart (IN pg. 45) for the seven animals. Pay special attention to details that will help differentiate between similar animals. Then develop a dichotomous key for at least five of the animals. You may do all seven, if you wish. Use the procedure we learned in class today. First divide the animals into two groups. Then divide each group into two groups. Continue dividing until there is only one type of animal in each group. Now go back and number each pair of groups (1a and 1b, 2a and 2b, etc.) Finally, write out your dichotomous key. After you complete your key, choose an animal or two and check it!

IN pg 49 (9/20/12): Dichotomous Key Interactive practice
IN pg 46 (9/21/12): Junior Taxonomist Certificate
Please complete the Interactive Dichotomous Keys. If the Trackstar site is not working, you can go directly to the sites themselves.
NOTE: The Galpagos Animal Characteristics Chart and the Dichotomous Key for Galapagos Animals are on pages 47 & 48 of the IN. See entry above.
For Site 1, use the Hayhurst Silly Animals worksheet available below. Make up names for each silly animal. Use scientific name format: two words, first word starts with a capital letter, second word starts with a lower case letter. Then key out each creature. Use the Dichotomous Keys Interactive Practice worksheet to access the sites. To access the key on Site 1, scroll to the bottom of page 1, click page 2, and then click next Begin using the key. Record your initials when you have found each silly animal.
For Site 2, follow the directions on the worksheet to key out at least 5 fish. Be sure to record their common names, their scientific names, and a fact about each one.
For Site 3, follow the directions on the worksheet and the site to key out all seven plants. when you have keyed out all the plants, you will earn a Junior Taxonomist certificate. Type your name on the certificate and then use the print button in the lower right corner of the certificate. DO NOT LEAVE THIS PAGE until you are sure the certificate printed. (You cannot go back to the certificate without keying all the plants again.)

IN pg 45 (HW DUE 9/20/12): Dichotomous Key for Norns
LAB: Develop a dichotomous key for visitors to the west coast of Florida. You will have six shells to key. Do not use size as a differentiating characteristic, since the same shell comes in many sizes. Instead focus on texture, patterning, etc. Use the help sheet below.
HW: use the Dichotomous Key for Norns to identify each species. Remember to write the COMPLETE scientific name (genus + species). All the Norns belong to the genus Norno.

IN pg 43 (9/19/12): Dichotomous Key for Aliens
Glop, Bip, Glip, Foop, and Nop are all varieties of alien. Please develop a dichotomous key so that visitors to this planet will know which is which.
Use this procedure: First divide the aliens into two groups. Then divide each group into two groups. Continue dividing until there is only one type of alien in each group. Now go back and number each pair of groups (1a and 1b, 2a and 2b, etc.) Finally, write out your dichotomous key. After you complete your key, choose an alien or two and check it!
