Six  Kingdom  Field  Guide                                     TEACHER  NOTES  Build-­‐Your-­‐Own  Dichotomous  Key    What  You  Do:  This  lesson  is  designed  to  follow  our  PowerPoint.    For  each  page,  you  may  have  students  cut  away  the  outside  edge  of  the  page  –  LEAVING  THE  TAB  –  so  that  they  can  create  a  tabbed  field  guide  that  is  easy  to  navigate  once  they  are  finished  with  the  entire  key.    In  our  class,  we  used  this  key  on  the  final  test  as  well  as  every  day  in  class  to  practice  the  use  of  a  dichotomous  key  and  review  the  organisms  found  in  each  kingdom.        For  each  of  the  six  kingdoms,  students  will  create  a  dichotomous  key.    Each  key  will  lead  them  to  specific  organisms  that  are  classified  within  that  kingdom.    They  will  identify  special  features  of  each  type  of  organism,  including  when  applicable:  

-­‐   Types  and  numbers  of  cells  -­‐   Types  of  reproduction  -­‐   Eating  habits  and  structures  -­‐   Body  symmetry  -­‐   Habitat  

We  have  also  included  example  organisms  and  special  features  in  the  form  of  illustrations  that  students  can  color,  label  and  or  draw  during  instruction.        Any  information  not  included  directly  on  this  sheet  can  be  found  embedded  in  the  PowerPoint,  in  student  resources  when  indicated,  or  on  the  Internet.        Handouts  should  be  printed  front  to  back  for  each  KINGDOM.    There  may  be  more  than  one  page  per  kingdom.        When  properly  put  together,  students  should  be  able  to  navigate  through  the  book  as  if  it  were  a  six  kingdom  field  guide.
