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
BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION LECTURE LEARNING OBJECTIVES
These lecture learning objectives are a study guide based on the VMC Biological Classification Lecture PowerPoint:
- 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?
BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION LECTURE POWERPOINT
All of the lecture PowerPoints used in the Virtual Microbiology Classroom have fill-in-the-blanks on many of the slides to encourage students to pay attention and follow along during the presentation. Instructors, contact us for the information that goes in the blanks.
HELPFUL TIPS: Some of the PowerPoint presentations are large files and may take a few moments to download, depending on the speed of your internet connection. If you are printing a hard copy of the PowerPoint, you can save paper by selecting Handouts (rather than Slides) in the "Print What:" drop down menu of the PPT print screen. Then you can choose the number of slides you want to have on each printed page. If the printed PPT presentation is to be used as student notes, it is best to choose handouts with 2 or 3 slides per page.
BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION PRACTICE TEST QUESTIONS
Practice test questions designed to help you better understand the material from this lecture. They are based on information in the Biological Classification PowerPoint Lecture.
BIOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION REVIEW QUESTIONS
Questions designed to help you review the material in the Biological Classification Lecture.
