This lesson is designed for the NEW AQA Trilogy Biology GCSE, particularly the ‘Ecology’ SoW. For more lessons designed to meet specification points for the NEW AQA Trilogy specifications for Biology, Chemistry and Physics please see my shop: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/SWiftScience This lesson begins with pupils being given a card sort of organisms, they will need to look at the pictures and try and decide how they would sort these organisms into groups, in other words how would they classify the organisms. Pupils will then be introduced to Linnaeus’ classification system and how this now influences the way we classify organisms, as well as explaining how modern technology can help us to group organisms. Pupils will then watch a video on classification, they will asked to think about, and write notes, on why classification is such an important process that scientists use. Now pupils are being introduced to the order of the classification system, pupils will be shown the order and then pupils will need to come up with their own mnemonic to help them remember this order. Pupils will then be introduced to the binomial naming system and the importance of this system, which they should be able to recount. The next activity involves pupils walking around the room, reading posters and they will need to use this information to complete a worksheet answering questions about the different kingdoms of the classification system. Once this is complete pupils can self or peer assess their work using the answers provided within the PowerPoint presentation Pupils will then complete an exam-style question on the topic of classification. This can then be self-assessed using the mark scheme provided. The plenary is for pupils to complete an exit card to demonstrate what they have learnt during the lesson, this can be handed in at the end of the lesson to the teacher to check student understanding. All resources are included at the end of the presentation. Thanks for looking, if you have any questions please let me know in the comments section and any feedback would be appreciated :)

Animal Classification -Groups of Sea Animals Includes teaching suggestions, activity set (pictures and labels), instructions, worksheets, posters and answer sheets. This is a great activity for children to learn how animals are grouped into different categories. The objective is to match each animal (pictures) under the correct group name (labels) – vertebrate, invertebrate, fish, mammal, reptile, crustacean, mollusc, echinoderm, coelenterate, worm and sponge – and match its features (labels) - while cooperatively making decisions and discussing the different possibilities. Set consists of: • Introduction - Information Posters: text about the different groups of sea animals – show on IWB • Classification Activity : Animal Flashcards, Group Name labels, Feature Labels • Worksheets: to record from activity • Answer Posters: to check at the end of the sorting activity as well as worksheets – show on IWB For more useful activities, please check my other Under the Sea resources in my shop Marie’s Teaching Resources.

Enhance your understanding of classification systems with this comprehensive teaching resource designed for GCSE Edexcel Combined Science and GCSE Edexcel Biology students. In Lesson 4.4, you will delve into the intriguing world of taxonomy and learn about the 3 Domains and 5 Kingdoms Classification Systems. Explore how Genetic Analysis has transformed our understanding of classification. By the end of this lesson, you’ll grasp the significance of classification, its historical development, and the modern genetic insights that have reshaped it. Learning Objective: By the end of this lesson, students will be able to describe the 3 Domains and 5 Kingdoms Classification Systems, and understand the role of Genetic Analysis in evolving the 3 Domains theory. Key Takeaways for Successful Students: Recognize the similarities and differences among organisms. Comprehend the purpose of classification in organizing organisms. Trace the origins of classification to Carl Linnaeus’ anatomical analysis. Apply the Linnean System for classification. Connect the Linnean System to the concept of similarities and differences. Explore the rationale behind the addition of the 3 domain system. Appreciate that classification is a dynamic process in an ever-changing world. Lesson Structure: Starter (5 minutes): Engage students in a brainstorming session, comparing the similarities and differences between a human and a frog. Encourage them to consider other animal comparisons for extension. Teaching Part 1 (5 minutes): Why do we need Classification? Highlight the significance of classification for the study of organisms. Emphasize how classification mitigates language barriers and confusion in naming organisms. Teaching Part 2 (10 minutes): Linnaean Classification Explore the history of classification, with focus on Carl Linnaeus. Explain the Linnaean hierarchical system (Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species). Illustrate the increasing specificity of classification levels. Activity 1 (5 minutes): Students research the classification of organisms they’ve interacted with and present their binomial names in the correct format. Activity 2 (15 minutes): Card Exercise: Guide students in sorting names into appropriate classification levels, fostering hands-on understanding. Teaching Part 3 (8 Minutes): Watch an engaging educational video on the domains of life to reinforce the concept visually. Summary Activity (10 Minutes): Classification Quiz Evaluate students’ comprehension with a quiz that covers the main concepts of the lesson. Student Evaluation: Facilitate a self-assessment session where students reflect on their learning experience, identify areas for improvement, and express what intrigued them the most.
