What I learned this week was how to make a dichotomous key. We watched what the crickets do for 30sec, 1min, 1mins 30sec, 2mins. And then, record what they did for those minutes. I learned how to do a dichotomous key with jelly beans. I learned 2 different methods and how to record my observations. I learned the word classify. I learned that the dichotomous key helps you find they flavor of they jelly beans and other things too.
A dichotomous key is a tool that allows the user to determine the identity of items in the natural world, such as trees, wildflowers, mammals, reptiles, rocks, and fish. Keys consist of a series of choices that lead the user to the correct name of a given item. "Dichotomous" means "divided into two parts".You can use Creately dichotomous key maker to create dichotomous keys online. There are templates and examples to get started as well.
