Biological Classification Lecture Materials
These
are the Biological Classification Lecture materials of the Virtual Microbiology Classroom. The resources below are used to supplement an actual
college microbiology course. Anyone taking, teaching or interested in
biology may find these materials helpful and is welcome to use them.
The Biological Classification Lecture materials include:
- a list of learning objectives
- a PowerPoint lecture
- practice test questions
- review questions
- links to additional educational materials
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
These lecture learning objectives are a study guide based on the VMC Biological Classification Lecture PowerPoint Show:
- What kind of evidence do scientists use to categorize and classify living things?
- Hierarchy of biological classification has nine major taxonomic ranks. What are they?
- Know the three domains and the forms of life each represents.
- Binomial nomenclature: Genus species; Know how to properly write the generic and specific name of a species.
- What is a dichotomous key? How many choices are at each decision point?
LECTURE POWERPOINT
Versions of Biological Classification PPT:
- Student's Biological Classification PowerPoint Show
Fill-in-the-Blank Format:
All of the lecture PowerPoints used in the Virtual Cell Biology Classroom are fill-in-the-blank format to encourage students to pay attention and follow along during the presentation.
Printing:
The best way for students to print out the PowerPoint Show is to download the PDF version. Select Print, and, when the Print screen comes up, go to the Print Handling options. Under Page Scaling, select "Multiple pages per sheet", Under Pages per sheet, select "2". That uses up less paper, placing two slides on each page.
PRACTICE TEST & REVIEW QUESTIONS
These multiple-choice / matching practice test questions and essay review questions are designed to help you better understand the material from this lecture.
