Order From Chaos
When you need a new pair of shoes, what do you do? You probably walk confidently into a shoe store, past the tens or hundreds of pairs of shoes you don’t want and straight to the kind you do want. How do you find them? Shoes are organized in the store in categories. People organize objects by grouping similar objects together.

1. Consider the task facing early biologists who attempted to organize living things. How might they have begun?
2. Suppose that you have been given a green plant, stringy brown seaweed, a rabbit, a mushroom, a worm, and a grasshopper. You’ve been asked to organize these things into categories that make sense. How would you do it?
3. Decide on your categories and write each on a sheet of paper. Next to each category, write the defining characteristics of that category. Then, write in the organisms that fall into each category.

How can you determine if one organism is closely related to another? It may seem easy, but it isn’t, and looks are often deceiving. For example, roses and orchids are both flowering plants, but roses grow on bushes or vines and have thorns. Many orchids don’t even grow in soil—they can grow in trees! Rose and orchid blossoms look very different, and roses and orchids cannot produce hybrids, or offspring of crosses between parents with different traits.

1. Do you think roses and orchids are closely related? Explain your answer.
2. Now, apply the same logic to dogs. Different breeds of dogs—such as a Labrador retriever and a collie—can breed and produce offspring. So what is the difference between the rose-orchid combination and the Lab-collie combination?
3. What defines a species? Is appearance important? What other factors might be considered?

Categories that are used to organize an assortment of things should be valid. That is, they should be based on real information. However, categories should be useful, too. Suppose that you are taking a survey of traffic. You sit at the side of a busy intersection and record the vehicles you see in one hour.

1. Consider the task facing early biologists who attempted to organize living things. How might they have begun?
Students may say that early biologists attempted to formulate logical systems for organizing the diversity of life.
2. Suppose that you have been given a green plant, stringy brown seaweed, a rabbit, a mushroom, a worm, and a grasshopper. You’ve been asked to organize these things into categories that make sense. How would you do it?
Students may group the plantlike, sessile organisms (the plant, seaweed, and mushroom) together, grouping the others as animals.
3. Decide on your categories and write each on a sheet of paper. Next to each category, write the defining characteristics of that category. Then, write in the organisms that fall into each category.
Remind students that organizational systems are human-made, and there are no right or wrong ones. Some, however, are more useful than others.
Interest Grabber Answers
1. Do you think roses and orchids are closely related? Explain your answer.
Students may say that their different growth habits and inability to hybridize indicate that they are not closely related.
2. Now, apply the same logic to dogs. Different breeds of dogs—such as a Labrador retriever and a collie—can breed and produce offspring. So what is the difference between the rose-orchid combination and the Lab-collie combination?
Students may know that all domestic dogs are a single species.
3. What defines a species? Is appearance important? What other factors might be considered?
Students may suggest that a species is defined by its members’ ability to interbreed, regardless of appearance.
Interest Grabber Answers
1. What categories could you use to organize your count of vehicles?
Students’ answers may include, type of vehicle, color, age, or manufacturer.
2. Look at your list of categories. Are all of them equally useful?
Students may suggest that the usefulness of the criteria depends on the intent of the study.
3. Is there more than one valid and useful way to organize living things?
Students should conclude that the same set of living things could be categorized in several ways, depending upon the criteria used.
