Welcome to Senior Studies: Taxonomy & Classification
Whether you’ve advanced through the Junior Studies or are joining the Academy at the Senior level, you are now entering the discipline that shapes all biological science: taxonomy and classification.
As a Senior Biologist, your task is not just to group animals but to analyze, defend, and communicate how life is organized from the broadest domains down to the smallest species. Your work carries the weight of an Academy assignment, preparing you for deeper studies in biology, genetics, and ecology.
🔬 Senior Studies at the Academy
Senior Studies units go beyond the foundational of Junior Studies. Each file challenges you to apply higher-level reasoning, problem solving, and presentation skills.
🧬 Taxonomy Units
Taxonomy and Animal Classification
Explore the science of how life is organized with three lessons, two teaching videos, and the immersive Zoo Mission. Senior Biologists will classify step by step, analyze traits, and defend their reasoning, earning recognition toward Taxonomy Expert within the Academy.
🎯 Aligned with Standards
All Mammal Units are aligned with elementary life science standards and come with a teacher guide and suggested weekly schedule. Perfect for classrooms, co-ops, or homeschools.
⚔️ The Academy Challenge
Every Academy class has learners of all ages. Younger biologists complete Junior Studies, while older students advance into Senior Studies. No matter your path, your work in Biology helps safeguard the Kingdom Animalia and prepares you for greater missions to come.
