1. Order From Chaos When you need a new pair of shoes, what do you do? You probably walk confidently into a shoe store, past the tens or hundreds of pairs of shoes you don’t want and straight to the kind you do want. How do you find them? Shoes are organized in the store in categories. People organize objects by grouping similar objects together. Section 18-1 Interest Grabber Go to Section:

2. 1.Consider the task facing early biologists who attempted to organize living things. How might they have begun? 2.Suppose that you have been given a green plant, stringy brown seaweed, a rabbit, a mushroom, a worm, and a grasshopper. You’ve been asked to organize these things into categories that make sense. How would you do it? 3.Decide on your categories and write each on a sheet of paper. Next to each category, write the defining characteristics of that category. Then, write in the organisms that fall into each category. Section 18-1 Interest Grabber continued Go to Section:

6. One Big Family? How can you determine if one organism is closely related to another? It may seem easy, but it isn’t, and looks are often deceiving. For example, roses and orchids are both flowering plants, but roses grow on bushes or vines and have thorns. Many orchids don’t even grow in soil—they can grow in trees! Rose and orchid blossoms look very different, and roses and orchids cannot produce hybrids, or offspring of crosses between parents with different traits.

7. 1.Do you think roses and orchids are closely related? Explain your answer. 2.Now, apply the same logic to dogs. Different breeds of dogs—such as a Labrador retriever and a collie—can breed and produce offspring. So what is the difference between the rose-orchid combination and the Lab-collie combination? 3.What defines a species? Is appearance important? What other factors might be considered?

11. My Way or the Highway Categories that are used to organize an assortment of things should be valid. That is, they should be based on real information. However, categories should be useful, too. Suppose that you are taking a survey of traffic. You sit at the side of a busy intersection and record the vehicles you see in one hour. Section 18-3 Interest Grabber Go to Section:

12. 1. What categories could you use to organize your count of vehicles? 2.Look at your list of categories. Are all of them equally useful? 3.Is there more than one valid and useful way to organize living things? Section 18-3 Interest Grabber continued Go to Section:
