7th grade students are working hard on their observation skills to classify various "organisms". They worked in class on classifying their shoes. It took them a while to learn to think as a scientist and not as a 7th grade student. Once they got the hang of it they began to see how they classify in their everyday lives. They now are working on classifying a group of "organisms" that each group brought into class. The students have to classify the items, create a classification tree, write a dichotomous key and take pictures of each "organism". The groups will then post their findings on their Wiki site.
