Classifying Cells

From prokaryote to eukaryote: interesting article that doesn't require understanding of evolution, but can revisit when covering Evolution topic.

Combine Biology and Digital Technologies (DT7 Python) to build an animal classifier. Learn about the different features of animals, how to use those differences to classify them, and how Biologists use programming to help them. https://groklearning.com/course/aca-dt-7-py-biology/?fbclid=IwAR3pJ-rB3vUWL4F1az2RL8sa1ffwOJZTEqDErf3uGeYJJOnppWf_KXlnO8w
Animal Classification Interactive Activities Use these fun activities to learn about classifying or grouping animals.
Classification Game See if you can group these living things.
Classifying Arthropods Use this virtual lab to compare and contrast the characteristics of arthropods.
Classifying Animals Game Drag and drop the names of various vertebrates and invertebrates into their proper classes.
Classify This! See how you do when assisting a professor in classifying bugs.
Grok resources: Python interactive "Combine Biology and Digital Technologies to build an animal classifier. Learn about the differences between animals, and how Biologists use programming to help them do science! Students will learn about: features of animals, animal structural and behavioural adaptation, and how to use Python and branching to classify animals based on their physical characteristics."

Animal Classification- If you were an animal, which animal would you be? What kind of animal is it and what is it like?
Identifying Animals - You are about to become an animal expert! You will be given a total of five animals to research. Once you learn what category your animals are divided into and why, you will share your expert opinion with the class.
