Are you still having trouble understanding dichotomous keys? If you need extra practice, try to identify the microscopic organisms found in the Chesapeake Bay.
Click on, "What are these things?"
Speaking of the Chesapeake Bay, I took a three week bay ecology course with Johns Hopkins over the Summer. It was in Maryland, so we studied the Chesapeake Bay and went on trips three times a week. We used one really huge dichotomous key to identify all the the fish. It was really fun.
hey justin, i dont know who you are, but i went to Johns Hopkins over the summer too! it was in Bethlehem though... srry if this has nothing to do with the topic...
this is so cool!!! this is the first time a teacher of mine actually made a blog and shares with students. One title for the blog can be "Science Fun". IDK, But overall this is awesome. Leslie you rock!!!
I'm kind of confused with the dichotomous key. Remember the one that we did, not the leaves or the crazy people one, or the fish one. It was some other one, I don't know what though, but sometimes i don't get if you're doing the first picture, do you look at the 1st bracket? and then the second with the second??
I LOVE THIS BLOG, but I'm a little confuzzled... heeheehee -ryan tam 7J
Hey Ryan - Always start with the first bracket or step. It doesn't matter what organism you are trying to identify:) Does anyone else have helpful tips on using dichotomous keys?
I think that the dichotomous key is pretty easy, just follow the steps and you got it! Good luck to everyone about these things and definetely good luck for the upcoming quiz/test! Leslie, you are my fav. teacher! (Well, actually, I have a lot of fav. teachers...)
When you try to solve a dichotomous key you can keep one finger on the organism and check if it fits or does not fit. Also check off answers you already used.
I totally agree with what Rachel said Leslie. You do really rock and this blog is so cool!! I can really learn a lot from this! Also, for solving dichotomous keys, if you take your time to figure things out, it will actually be a lot easier. -Jiaming 7B
this is awesome!
ReplyDeleteWow! This is Gordon. It's cool, I got how to use the dichotomous key. Thanks.
ReplyDeletethose weird thingys look like the stuff on the potatoes, they're jut plain WEIRD!

Justin - You are a dichotomous key expert! I will definitely use your help tomorrow:) What a fun program!

How many different ways of classifying things are there?

hi this is Leila.
ReplyDeleteIf any one is still confused on how to make a dichotomous key for the project, I think what Leslie posted is a great help.
Good luck
