We got right back to work after winter break, taking what we learned about animal classification and why it's important and now learning how the scientists have actually done it. We each came up with our own mnemonic (memory device) to help remember the levels of classification, and then we each chose an animal and researched each level of its taxonomy:
KPCOFGS: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species:
No, not smushed frogs!
Feeling cranky, anyone? How about some green soup?
and the musical version - don't you wish you had a karaoke phone?
At any rate, these creative kids now know their classification system!
