Classification of Living Things Lab Investigation
Classification of Living Things Lab Investigation (Product Code: SLE/EB/12) is a classroom biodiversity activity used to teach the Five Kingdoms by classifying illustrated life forms with a simple dichotomous key in school biology lessons. Sized for a class of 40, it takes students to the kingdom and phylum of each organism while they note what it “does for a living”. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as a low-equipment biology teaching aid.

What Is the Classification of Living Things Investigation Used For?
The investigation is used at the start of a diversity-of-life unit. Students work through the key one couplet at a time, choosing between two descriptions at each step, until they reach a kingdom and then a phylum for each illustrated organism. Comparing answers between groups quickly shows where a key depends on careful observation, and disagreements become a starting point for discussing cell type, nutrition and body plan.
Since students work from illustrations rather than live or preserved specimens, the activity needs no microscopes or specimen storage and can run in an ordinary classroom. It pairs well with a classification chart for biology on the classroom wall, suits schools still building up their biology lab equipment, and leads naturally into field work with real organisms.
Supplier
The investigation is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known to customers as ScienceLab, from Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, colleges and distributors can order it together with posters and other classification resources in a single quotation. See the company profile for more about our background and range.

Frequently Asked Questions
What class size is the Classification of Living Things Lab Investigation designed for?
The Classification of Living Things Lab Investigation is designed for a class size of 40 students. For larger year groups, order one set for every 40 students, or ask us for a combined quotation.
Does the Classification of Living Things Lab Investigation need microscopes or specimens?
No. In the Classification of Living Things Lab Investigation students classify illustrations of life forms, so the lesson can run in any ordinary classroom without microscopes, preserved specimens or specimen storage.
Which classification levels does the investigation cover?
The Classification of Living Things Lab Investigation takes students to kingdom and phylum level within the Five Kingdom system, using a simple dichotomous key to place each illustrated life form.
What is a dichotomous key?
A dichotomous key, as used in the Classification of Living Things Lab Investigation, is a step-by-step identification tool: every step offers two contrasting descriptions, and choosing the one that fits leads to the next step and finally to a group.
Does the investigation cover how organisms live, or only their names?
Both. While working through the Classification of Living Things Lab Investigation, students also record what each life form “does for a living”, which links classification to ecology and to the diversity of the living world.
Who supplies the Classification of Living Things Lab Investigation?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, India, supplies the Classification of Living Things Lab Investigation to schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets, with quotations sent directly by the company.
