2 Kingdoms (Plant & Animal)
3 Kingdoms (Plant, Animal, Single Celled)
4 Kingdoms (Plant, Animal, Protista, Monera)
5 Kingdoms (Plant, Animal, Protista, Monera, Fungi)
6 Kingdoms? (Plant, Animal, Protista, Fungi, Bacteria,

Lesson 1 Identification of Characteristics in Non-Living Things
Difficulties/MisconceptionsDifficulty determining number of characteristicsClassify using one characteristic, then recombineDichotomous keys Multiple IntelligencesBodily-Kinesthetic, Interpersonal, VisualModificationsGive a dichotomous key and/or the number of
characteristics
Lesson 2 Classification of Living Things in the Animal Kingdom
Difficulties/MisconceptionsMore invertebrates (1 265 500 species) than vertebrates (52 500
species)Classification by size or habitatMultiple IntellgencesBodily-Kinesthetic, Interpersonal, VisualModificationsAdd names to pictures for ESL & linguistic learnersDecrease the number of and/or type of animals for IEPInclude animals from countries of your students cultural backgrounds
Lesson 4 Classifying Arthropods using a Dichotomous Key
Difficulties/MisconceptionsStudents believe that there is only one type of butterfly

Lessons 5 & 6 Characteristics and Identification of Tree Leaves
Difficulties/MisconceptionsBelief of only one type of maple, oak, etc.Classification by size of leafMultiple IntellgencesBodily-Kinesthetic, Interpersonal, Visual, NaturalisticModificationsStudents in addition can read about the differences
and similaritiesDecrease the number of and/or type of leaves for IEPUse a website to identify leaf samples
Assessment and EvaluationComparison of Arthropods or TreesChoice of mind maps or write up
