Biodiversity and Classification

Why do we classify things? And what if we didn’t classify things? Could we go through life easily? Think about it... What if a grocery store just put stuff on vacant shelves? The milk might end up next to the salt. The cereal might be next to the lettuce. How would you ever find anything? You would have to go down every aisle to find your items. When similar types of items are grouped, we can find them more easily. Classification helps us keep things in order. And Fresh Science Biodiversity and Classification helps you put... well... classification in order. Join us as we present what might just be THE definitive resource for teaching the classification of living things.

Biodiversity and Classification consists of…

  • One incredibly full (and highly interactive) DVD containing hundreds of videos, animations, still images and text frames to support six teacher-directed video lessons, plus six dual-mode video quizzes and a 60-term illustrated glossary. You can use the DVD to support our “Ready-to-eat” Lessons or to complement your own lessons with the “Visuals à la Carte.”
  • One 250-page spiral bound Teacher’s Guide containing lesson plans and student blackline masters. The printed lessons provide standards-based curriculum materials as well as simple-to-follow directions on when and how to use the DVD. You’ll also find strategies and dialogue prompts that ensure students are active learners, rather than passive viewers.
  • Student blackline masters for each lesson include…
    • ACTIViewer™ recording sheets that students complete during the video lesson,
    • hands-on activities, and
    • grade-level-appropriate reading and writing activities, which help you assess student understanding of the content.
  • Formal written assessment for each lesson.
