This Science video introduces teachers to using and creating classification keys to sort organisms based on similarities and differences. It explains how branching keys use a series of yes/no questions to guide users towards identifying an organism, and demonstrates the process with a worked example of sorting vertebrates. Pupils are shown how to follow a key accurately and how to create their own by thinking of questions that divide groups into two smaller groups at each step.
This Kapow pupil video is part of the Kapow Science scheme of work. Have you ever hidden an object behind paper and wondered how a mirror still shows it?
