Dichotomous Key Assignment due next Wednesday, 9/28.


  • Can be done by yourself or with one other person
  • Make a dichotomous key to separate out 10 items of your choice
  • Clear pictures of each should be provided, either on a sheet of paper or on a single-screen of a laptop
  • A clear dichotomous key separating the items should be provided.  Check to make sure that it makes sense and it works.  Questions should be based on visible characteristics, not the student's knowledge of the item.
  • Statements should attempt to divide items into categories, not just eliminating one item at a time
  • See Fish Key for a complex but good example!
  • You need to be able to hand it in, either as a paper copy or digital so I can try it myself.
