Dichotomous KeyI did this activity with my 10th grade biology class to introduce them to the topic of classification. They really enjoyed this activity, however the problems that arose were checking to see if they were correct. The only true way to tell is to taste the jelly beans and thats not a good diea with food allergies. Also, dependent on the types of jelly belly beans I noticed that you do have to introduce "new species" to the mix.

Resource SciPack
I teach HS biology and I thought this scipak was a great overview of topics. It explained concepts in an easy and concise way. I also agree that some of the questions could be answered with prior knowledge.
