Course: Agricultural Education - Preparation (18003-II) > Section: Exploring Plant Propagation

Identification should include the classification of plants according to

- kingdom
- phylum
- class
- order
- family
- genus
- species.

Identification should also include species-specific traits, determined by drawing logical comparisons between plants or by using taxonomic keys to compare the parts of plants.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What is a taxonomic key, and how is it used?
- What is the order of scientific classification?
- How are two common plants (e.g., pine tree and Boston fern) distinct in terms of their classification?
- What is the difference between the scientific and common names for plants?
