💡 Why this quiz even matters...

Most Students Get Taxonomy Wrong

Taxonomy isn’t just science, it’s critical thinking. Most students confuse mammals with fish (hello, dolphin 🐬), forget the classification order, or can’t explain the why behind the labels. This free quiz helps fix all that with engaging questions, reflection prompts, and a short video walkthrough.

🧠 Built by a teacher. Tested by kids. Loved by families.

ABOUT ME

🍎 Hello...

Hi! I’m Mrs. Bettina... an online teacher, homeschool mom, and curriculum creator who’s obsessed with making science stick.

I built this quiz because taxonomy can be confusing (even for adults), and I wanted something that helps kids see patterns, ask questions, and actually enjoy biology.

I studied biology in college and love the way life connects together... and though it can be confusing at first, once the organizational method of taxonomy clicks... it really opens up the world!

I’m not here to overwhelm you with busywork, just give you the tools that make learning easier, deeper, and a little more fun!

Want to Go Deeper?

The quiz is just the beginning. It shows you what your students don’t know... but the full unit?
That’s what helps them finally get it.

Whether you’ve been putting off teaching taxonomy (because let’s be honest... it’s a lot) or your students need something more than a quick worksheet, this bundle has you covered.

✅3 full printable lessons (Grades 5–9)

✅2 teacher-led videos (10 min + 38 min)

✅Activities, diagrams, and self-checks

✅Zoo project with build-your-own challenge

✅“Think Like a Scientist” pages + games

✅Answer keys, guides, and more
