If you’re looking for a meaningful way to connect your biology curriculum to real-world science careers, this Careers in Science: Classification Activity is a perfect fit!
This no-prep classification worksheet introduces students to entomologist and taxonomist Dr. Quentin Wheeler and helps them explore how scientists identify, name, and classify organisms. Students will connect biology concepts like classification, taxonomy, species description, biodiversity, shared traits, natural history collections, and the tree of life to real scientific work.
I designed this as an easy go-to for early finishers, sub plans, homework, enrichment, or anytime you want to show students how what they’re learning in class connects to real careers in science.
Want more biology career connections like this one? This activity is also included in my Biology Careers in Science Activities Bundle, which includes multiple no-prep worksheets connecting biology topics to real scientists and modern science careers.
This activity fits perfectly when teaching classification, taxonomy, biodiversity, species, scientific naming, shared traits, natural history museums, or the tree of life. Students will learn how Dr. Quentin Wheeler studies insects, especially beetles, and works to identify, describe, name, and classify organisms so scientists can better understand life on Earth.
Your students will see that classification is not just memorizing kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. It is an active science that helps researchers discover new species, track biodiversity, protect endangered organisms, and understand how living things are connected.
