Classification -
Jack and I reviewed chapter 17, which explored the history of classification of living things. I taught Jack the mnemonic device to remember the taxonomic classification system (Keep ponds clean or frogs get sick, to remember kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species). We then examined the way new genetic information from DNA analysis has changed this system. Jack learned to read a cladogram, that shows how different species are connected through evolutionary trees, based on DNA and genetic traits.
