Conclusions:
Students will need to observe their specimen and very carefully note those
characteristics which are significant and may not be confused with the other
specimens. Students that have difficulty matching their cards will learn what
they would need to do in order to make their description clearer. It will also
be seen that a system for describing organisms needs to be succinct and less
cumbersome. Again, this is an exercise that points out the need to classify and
how to go about it in a way that will enlighten rather than confuse.
