    The document provides instructions for an assignment asking students to create an imaginary new organism. Students must draw and describe the organism, its habitat, diet, evolutionary ancestry, and geological time period. They must classify the organism and explain how it obtains energy and reproduces. The task aims to teach students about scientific classification and how organisms are assigned names. Students will be graded on their drawing of the organism, illustration of its habitat, classification in the geological timescale, and description of its evolution, diet, features, and reproduction.

    Performance Task
    Create & Name an Original Organism
    Subject: Earth and Life Science
    Grade Level: 11
    Topic: Process of Evolution

    Background
    Carolus Linnaeus set up the first system of classifying organisms in 1753.
    Currently, we classify from about 5000 to 8000 new organisms per year. Scientists
    use the organism’s structure (the body parts and how they are put together and
    used) to classify. Scientific names are assigned by the first person to discover and
    describe a new species and the names usually relate to the body structure. This
    system of classification is called Taxonomy and there are currently six different
    kingdoms in which all known living organisms are classified.

    Task
    The student will create a new (imaginary) organism. The student must draw the
    organism, illustrate its habitat, list the diet of the organism, explain what previous
    species it probably evolved from, give the time period on the Geologic Time Scale in
    which the organism exists/existed, and describe any other important details such as
    size, physical features, mobile/sessile/stationary, etc.

    Purpose
    To make students aware of how organisms are classified and scientific names are
    assigned.

    Materials
    Poster paper (bond paper short), markers/crayons/colored pencils, Encyclopedia of
    Living Things, geologic time scale, rulers, pens/pencils

    Procedure & Rubric Score

    Geologic Time scale period from when it evolved


    Describe how your organism gets its energy (chemosynthesis, photosynthesis, aerobic or
    anaerobic respiration)
    If it is a consumer, what is its typical diet?
    Describe its habitat. What type of biome/where in the world does it live?
    Any symbiotic relationships within its ecosystem? Is it a predator? Is it prey for another?
    Describe/Design its major features: height, length, weight, body composition (shell, armor, scales,
    fur, stems, roots, etc), color, mobile or sessile, how does it move, etc.
    How does it reproduce and how often?
