While the unit diversity of living things in the grade 11 curriculum can be a very interesting topic full of debate and conversation, there are portions that can be rather dry. The area of taxonomy and classification is very information dense and can often lose some students when covering the material. I have found that making it relatable with the candy lesson allows students to take the knowledge they have learned and apply it to a hands on activity. This activity also allows students to use technology throughout the activity while keeping the lesson fun and interactive.
