Scientists use classification keys to find names for living things. In this activity you will use a key to find names for jelly beans. A key starts with numbered choices. As you decide on the characteristics of the bean, you move through the key. Remember to always start with number one and then go where it directs you. The great thing about this activity is—you get to eat the jelly beans!
