Like in all the other subjects I like to teach things that are actually going to be used in life. Basic life skills. We are studying things that are around us. I didn't know a lot of the information about different cells. I know my boys are much to young to even grasp that though. It should be interesting to see what has developed in secular science by the time they are in High school. I have one "for sure" Scientist. but probably in natural history like his grampa.

Question- what do you call the classifications of plants and animals? The groups, and how many are there for animals? Has any of that changed?

There are so many ways to lie with statistics if the observer isn't careful. My favorite is trimming your graph so it shows just the top few percent, turning what's basically a flat line into an alarming trend :)
