Genecks Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 What do you need to memorize, how many animals, etc..? I need more information. In general, you could start with mnemonics and practicing recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewmon Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 The phylum names are often physically descriptive (using Latin and Greek) of some characteristic of the animals, so it seems helpful to learn the English meanings of the Latin and Greek parts of the phylum names. A threadlike animal might begin "nemato-", a flat animal might begin "platy-", etc. Even if you end up inventing a phylum name based on an animal's appearance, the teacher might give you partial credit.
