In this mastery badge we will begin our study of living things and how they are classified.  This will lay a foundation for the next three mastery badges that follow.  You will learn how things are classified by scientists, and explore some of the disagreements that exist amongst scientists who work in this field.  You will then be asked to choose a side.  You will have to decide which scientists you most agree with, and present an argument as to why you believe that they are most correct.
