Question

In your own words, what was the purpose of the field study?

Procedure
Write a short summary of how you completed your field study and how you classified the organisms.

Data
Use the following key to help you complete the field study.
New Fabula Creatures Taxonomic Key
Step Physical Feature Classification
1 Smooth skin Go to 2
Fur Go to 3
2 One eye Go to 4
Two eyes Go to 5
3 One eye Go to 7
Two eyes Go to 8
4 Arms and legs Silkus monowrestle
Legs only Silkus monosquirmus
5 Arms and legs Go to 6
Legs only Silkus duosquirmus
6 Tail Silkus tallyhas
No tail Silkus stretchilus
7 Tail Fuzzus tallywag
No tail Fuzzus feelzalot
8 Two teeth Go to 9
More than two teeth Fuzzus chompilus

Conclusion
Now that you have classified the organisms on planet Fabula, answer the following questions:
1. How many different species are there?
2. How many different genus groups are there? List them.
3. Do you think all of these creatures would belong in the same Kingdom? Why or why not?
4. Explain in your own words the order in which the creature's traits may have evolved, starting from the first likely trait. (Hint: Which trait is most common across the creatures?)

Conclusion (10 points)

Now that you have classified the organisms on planet Fabula answer the following questions:

Skilled Scientist level from Rubric: Student used critical thinking skills and evidence to establish a possible relationship among organisms and a possible evolutionary history of traits.

How many different species are there?

THere are 10 different species.

How many different genus groups are there?

There are 10 different genus groups.

List the different genus groups:

Fuzzus Tallywag

Fuzzus pointilus

Silkus duosquirmus

Fuzzus chompilus

Silkus stretchilus

Silkus tallyhas

Fuzzus feelzalot

Silkus monosquirmu

Fuzzus squarilus

Silkus monowrestle

Do you think all of these creatures would be long to the same Kingdom? Why or why not?

Yes, because they all look the same, but also look different. It's kind of like cats and lions or dogs and wolves.
