Fun Dichotomous Keys Activity - Up and Moving Activity!
Description
A super fun up-and-moving activity to review the use of Dichotomous Keys! Small QR codes will 'infect' them with one of eight types of bacteria. A partner scans their QR code to see an image of the bacteria. Students must use the Bacteria Dichotomous Key to diagnose their disease! The included worksheet gives them space to record their own bacteria infection, as well as four of their classmates.
This activity is always a hit in my own classroom! Easy to set up and a fun way to review dichotomous keys!
