Diversity of Living Things

As we continue exploring diversity, we move from classifying objects using different keys and criteria to the established Taxonomy used by scientists.

We are focusing on 5 main Kingdoms.

As we move further along the taxonomy of living things, we are focusing on "Arthropods" (category of invertebrates). Excellent sites for exploring the Animal Kingdom . . .

July 2016: A new marine invertebrate species was found in the Antarctic ocean. it is named Doto carinova. If you have any interesting science news related to living things please share in class!
