MY BACKYARD ORGANISMS BY A.N. Other

INTRODUCTION Initially the object of the project was to identify common organisms found in my own backyard. After the identification I was encouraged to learn more about classification and why scientists give organisms those long complicated names. Finally learnt about dichotomous keys, and I created a key of my organisms to help others identify what is in their backyard.
