Make a Dichotomous Key

Line 1: Line 1:
A dichotomous key is a way of identifying specimens based on contrasting statements, usually about physical characteristics. By drawing a series of contrasts, you are able to narrow down the specimen until you can correctly identify it. Dichotomous keys are often used in the sciences, such as biology and geology. To make your own dichotomous key, first select the characteristics you can use to contrast your specimens, then formulate these as a series of statements or questions you can use to narrow them down.
