The Results of our Latest Science Inquiry

Are there really organisms from each of the five kingdoms living in various habitats?  This was the topic of our latest science inquiry.  It was especially interesting for the students to begin to comprehend the existence of the single-celled organisms from the monera kingdom and protist kingdom in the habitats they chose. Here are the classification trees they created.

Today we examined all of these results and used sticky notes to comment on another group's work using one star and one wish.  After that we learned how to classify trees, then we embarked on another inquiry:  What species of trees can we find around our school?  We used the classification trees in our textbook to help us as we gathered samples from outside.
