discuss the advantages and the disadvantages of dichotomous keys.
 
 
***Please see preview for sample sheets and answer keys***
 
 
Note: This resource may be used together with my DICHOTOMOUS KEY (Worksheets and PPT). Click to see preview.
 
 
The resources come in two parts:
 
1. Create a dichotomous Key worksheet:
 
There are 3 versions of this worksheet: a) Animal only, b) Plant only & c) Monsters. Each version comes with a black and white option. The worksheets provide students with the opportunity to classify organisms by creating a flow chart and a dichotomous key. This is great for individual work.
 
In case you want your learners to collaborate in groups, I have included organism cards that your learners may use to create a poster instead.
 
**See sample work in preview ***
 
2. Identify the organism worksheet
 
In this worksheet, students will identify some organims using an already made dichotomous key. In so doing, they apply the concepts they have previously learned.
 
Grade:
Grades 9 through 12
 
 
The resource may be used as stand-alone. It can also easily be integrated into your existing resources on dichotomous key.
 
I truly believe you will find this resource valuable and will help your students master the topic of dichotomous key. The resource requires little prep time, which is a win for the teacher.
