    A dichotomous key is a tool used to identify species based on sequential yes/no questions about their observable characteristics. The document provides instructions for students to construct their own dichotomous key to classify insect images displayed on a smartboard. Students will ask yes/no questions that split the images into two groups at each step, with the goal of identifying each unique species by the last question in the key.
