Teach the Tree of Life Classification System to Kids

The classification of the plant kingdom is undergoing change, and this can make the life of a biology teacher challenging. So now we must deal with a new system and with the older system, while keeping the subject interesting and focused. Both of the classification systems may be found in children’s books, but the older system is much more common. This can make teaching the new system more challenging. A new book by Priscilla Spears is a boon to teachers who want to stay ahead of the class and make their lessons both fun and accurate. Kingdoms of Life Connected offers a clear, well-illustrated explanation of the new system of classifying plants, with direct reference to the old system to make learning even easier. The book is published by Big Picture Science, which offers a complete line of science materials to help with teaching kids science.

Whether you are a teacher looking for new science information for your classroom or a homeschooling parent concerned about presenting your children with the latest information available, you will want to learn as much as possible about new thought in scientific. Kingdoms of Life Connected is an important new book for teaching kids botany. Plant kingdom classification, which formerly included 12 phyla, now has no phyla or classes, but still uses orders, families, genera and species. The branches have names and are important for understanding plant diversity. The new system is based on phylogenetic relationships or a “tree of life” approach to classification. For example, the traditional plant classification system included a group called seedless vascular plants. The new classification system does not use this group designation, because club mosses are on a different branch than the ferns, whisk ferns, and horsetails.

Kingdoms of Life Connected will guide you through the Bryophytes, and steer you through the Tracheophytes (vascular plants) including both the Lycophytes (club mosses) and the Euphyliophytes (composed of monilophytes and spermatophytes). You may recognize the seed plants, the spermatophytes, which include gymnosperms and angiosperms.

A strong feature of Kingdoms of Life Connected is the regular use of beautiful photographs and clear, interesting diagrams to illustrate the text. In addition, there is a section on presenting actual plant specimens, including information on how to order preserved or live specimens that are not in your local environment. This interesting and easy to use book includes a section in each chapter of study questions, activity suggestions, and sources for additional information. This is an excellent teacher’s guide to the Tree of Life for a motivated teacher working with motivated students.
