Teacher: “Good morning! Look at this short video (20 sec) – a scientist discovers a new beetle in the jungle. (play video or show image) The beetle looks like a common one, but DNA analysis shows it’s a different species. Why do biologists need a system to name and group living things? What might happen if we used only common names?” Ask: “Predict – how many species do scientists describe every year? (show options: 500 / 10 000 / 18 000). Write your guess in notebook.” Teacher: “Let’s check – about 18 000 new species are described each year! That’s why we need taxonomy – and today you’ll use English to talk about classification.” Value prompt: “When scientists name a species, they work with diligence – every detail matters. You’ll practise that today.” |
