Identification
• After you bring the animals, plants, and/or algae back to the lab you will have to classify them down to genus and species.
• The best way to do this is to begin with Kingdom, Phylum and Class.
• Once you have narrowed the organism down to its class, use your book to key it down to genus and species.
Note cards
• In the past some students have found it useful to create note cards that focus on the organisms on your list.
• One side of the card has a picture/description of the organism plus where the organism was found
• The other side has the genus and species name.
The following organisms are usually found in Jamaica.
Try to classify them down to genus and species.
