Objective: The learner will construct a usable dichotomous key for various types of pasta. Using the bag of pasta provided to you, create a usable dichotomous key. 1. First you should create a flow chart of characteristics of the various types of pasta. Be as specific and detailed as possible in describing the types of pasta. Make sure that the terminology you use to describe the pasta is understandable to your classmates (or your teacher). The flow chart will help you to better organize your dichotomous key. 2. After creating your flow chart, create a dichotomous key that ANYONE could use to determine what types of pasta are present in the bag provided. Remember that the statements describing characteristics of ANYTHING you are keying out can exist ONLY in pairs (1A and 1B, etc). Use the phrase “go to #” until you get to the end of the description of that pasta type. At that time, write the name of the pasta type. 3. After all groups have completed their keys, someone (your teacher or another classmate) will try to key out several types of pasta using your key. If the group utilizing your key is successful, then your key is useable and this is what we are striving for! Docsity.com
