ACT. 44, WHO'S WHO? in class 12.16 & 12.17.14

Use the links below to find the Micro-Life Cards & Dichotomous Key listed in the materials.  The second sheet of the links includes the Classification Cards that are part of step 8 of the Procedure.  Step 8 discusses 6 Classification Cards.  I have simplified your work by including only 3 cards.  Each Micro-Life Card organism belongs in one of the three groups - Virus, Bacteria, or Protist.

I suggest you group the cards into three groups, then based on the Dichotomous Key, decide on the names of the groups.  Finally,  "key out" the names of the organisms using the Key.

You should have 2 work products in your notebook at the end of this Activity:

1. a chart/ table of three columns, one for each group - Virus, Bacteria, Protist.  In each column there will be a list of the organisms that belong to the group.
2. A list of common features of each group, as discussed in Procedure step 9.
