Design
and make a classification poster (A3 size).
Follow the steps below. See the
rubric for the marking criteria.
Step 1: Choose a specific organism: ________________________________
(e.g. “Black Rhino” instead of just “rhino”)
Step 2: Research the taxonomy of this organism. Use an encyclopaedia or internet resources to
find the following groupings to which this organism belongs:
Kingdom: _______________________
Phylum:
_______________________
Class: _______________________
Order: _______________________
Family: _______________________
Genus: _______________________
Species: _______________________
Step 3: Type the information you
have found (remember to properly write the Genus species) and mount it on your
A3 paper. Find two or more pictures of
your organism and add them to your poster.
