- design a safe investigation into the effect of a factor on the enzyme catalase (Crit B)

- identify different types of variation and how to present this in a graph

- describe how variation arises, within and between organisms

- Classification and the variety of life the binomial system

Review HW tasks for this week:

1. Formative Catalase lab design

2. Variety of life (biodiversity). The animal Kingdom. RSQ BFY 224-233. Q 2,3,4,5,6  pg 238.

The plant, bacteria, protist and bacteria kingdom.  RSQ BFY 234-237. Q1,7,8 pg 238.

Watch the video about Taxonomy on the next slide and take notes.

Key words to include:

what is biodiversity?, species, kingdoms, genus, animal phyla, classification (why do we need to classifiy?)

01:55

note that it is always typed in italics

genus name uses a CAPITAL

species name only lower case letters

02:59

Can you come up with another mnemonic to recall the taxonomic groups? Or just list the groups here:

03:32

What is the genus?

1. onca
2. Panthera
3. Panter
4. cat

Extra challenge? Done?

Create a dichotomous key for some of the organisms you saw in the video of David Attenborough.
