|strategy= | |strategy= The lesson offers opportunities to explore different ways of classifying living things, and to explore some of these differences, various characteristics which might be important, and some problems with trying to classify things in this way. The lesson may offer opportunity to work with new software (e.g. Picasa), or could be carried out with paper based resources. The lesson might be a good opportunity for some small group work, and perhaps some inquiry into how we classify, and explanations of why some methods of classification might be more useful, or more scientifically interesting than others - this is a good opportunity to use different sorts of questions, and to encourage pupils to question each other and engage in peer assessment. | ||
