Today, you will be writing a review on a subject in science, classification and taxonomies review

Develop a model that categorizes organisms based on common characteristics. Explain how an organism’s scientific name correlates to the shared characteristics of taxonomic levels. Describe the similarities and differences of major physical characteristics in plants, animals, fungi, protists, and bacteria. Develop and use models to classify organisms based on the current hierarchical taxonomic structure (including the kingdoms of protists, plants, fungi, and animals). Analyze and interpret data related to the diversity of animals to support claims that all animals (vertebrates and invertebrates) share common characteristics.

For your Sample Work assignment, you will write a reflection about your learning in this unit. Your reflections should be 3-5 sentences long

I feel confident about creating classification models because I have a strong understanding of the common characteristics that organisms share within each taxonomic level. It is challenging to interpret molecular data because it requires a deep understanding of genetics and biochemistry. One way to explain a scientific name is by breaking it down into its genus and species components, which relate to shared characteristics of organisms within the same taxonomic group. In order to remember definitions of vocabulary words in this unit, one strategy I used was creating flashcards and regularly reviewing them. If I am not sure how to figure out how to support a claim, one strategy I can use is conducting research and seeking out additional resources for information and evidence.
