As part of their taxonomy unit, students in Ms. Riddle’s science class participated in a fun and tasty Jelly Bean Dichotomous Key Lab!

Students put their classification skills to the test by using a dichotomous key to identify jelly bean flavors. 🔍 After making their predictions, they got to taste the jelly beans to see if their scientific work was correct!

What a SWEET way to bring science to life through hands-on learning! 🍬🧠
