Exploring Binomial Names
The scientific process of naming any life form involves assigning each species a unique two word scientific or binomial name. In this activity, students explore the binomial names of various Queensland species and investigate how Latin and Greek are used to structure these names. Students then apply their knowledge to create a binomial name for a mythical creature.
