Full lesson	Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle}

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length (minutes)	Details
1	Introduction to Taxonomy	5	Introduce the concept of taxonomy and its role in biology. Discuss the importance of classification.
2	Taxonomic Hierarchy	10	Explain the classification hierarchy (domain, kingdom, etc.). Use visual aids to illustrate each level.
3	Group Activity	10	Divide students into small groups. Provide them with different organisms to classify using the taxonomic hierarchy.
4	Class Discussion	3	Have groups share their classifications. Facilitate a discussion on how different classifications can vary.
5	Recap and Q&A	2	Briefly review the key points of the lesson. Address any questions or concerns from students.
6	Homework Assignment	0	Assign homework based on textbook readings and classification exercises, to be checked the next lesson.

Homework

Students will complete a worksheet where they classify a list of organisms and write a brief explanation of the classification levels involved. Homework will be collected and checked without student presentations.
