Taxonomy & Classification of Organisms: Digital Escape Room (Biology Sub Plan)

MASTER THE KINGDOMS: THE TAXONOMY CHALLENGE

Can your students bring order to the natural world?

Journey through the history of biological organization with this immersive Classification of Organisms Digital Escape Room. From the broadest Domains to the most specific Species, this activity turns a complex biology unit into a high-stakes "Mystery Mission" that helps students master the Linnaean System.

The Ultimate "No Prep" Life Science Solution: Perfect for Middle School Science and High School Biology, this resource is a "plug-and-play" Science Sub Plan. Students navigate digital locks while mastering the Hierarchy of Life and Animal Groups—all with zero prior setup or grading required from you.

Core Curriculum Concepts Covered:

• Taxonomy: The science of naming, defining, and soul-searching the tree of life.

• The 8 Levels of Classification: Mastering Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species.

• Binomial Nomenclature: Understanding scientific naming conventions.

• Kingdoms of Life: Differentiating between Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista, Archaea, and Bacteria.

• Dichotomous Keys: An introduction to identifying organisms based on traits.

The Six "Science Ninja" Challenge Types:

1. True/False Factoids: Debunking myths about animal classification.

2. Reading Comprehension: The history of Carolus Linnaeus and modern taxonomy.

3. Biological Terminology Matching: Defining the 8 levels of the hierarchy.

4. Keyword Unscramble: Deciphering the language of the natural world.

5. Classification Riddles: Clue-based identification of specific animal groups.

6. Logical Sequencing: Ordering the hierarchy from broadest to most specific.

Ideal for:

Biology curriculum, Life Science units, STEM projects, Emergency sub plans, and Homeschooling.
