Classification

Why do biologists classify organisms, and how do they do it?

  1. Life is classified according to similarities in characteristics
  2. Binomial Nomenclature provides each species with a unique name
  3. Classification systems become progressively more inclusive
  4. The atmosphere of early earth was made up of water, methane, ammonia, and carbon dioxide
  5. The first life arose from simple chemicals

Extra Help

I am available for extra help most days:

  • Before school from 7:00 to 7:20 AM
  • During the day when I am free
  • After school until 3:00 PM.

Please check with me if you plan on staying after to make sure I don't have a meeting or other obligation. Faculty meetings are usually Wednesday after school.

You can email questions at any time:
sotterspoor@stamfordCt.gov.

You should not expect an immediate answer after 10 PM or while I am teaching.
