    The document outlines a biology STAAR review focusing on biological evolution and classification. It provides learning objectives and activities for three categories: 8A) defining taxonomy and its importance, 8B) categorizing organisms hierarchically, and 8C) comparing characteristics of taxonomic groups. Students will complete pre-tests, use online resources like interactive quizzes and videos, and graphic organizers to review key concepts and terms in biological taxonomy and evolution. Their understanding will be assessed through additional review questions.
