Taxonomic Detectives

Program Description: Classification isn't as mysterious as it sounds. Use clues given by animal eye placement and teeth type, along with a dichotomous key to identify real animal skulls and determine to which taxonomic order they belong. With some simple classification activities to get you started, it's a detective case you'll soon solve, right down to the species of each skull.
