1. Classification of Living Things Living species are placed into groups based on their observed characteristics. They are usually NOT placed into groups based on their habitat, their behavior, or their common names.

2. 6 Kingdoms of Living Things Archaebacteria Eubacteria Protista Fungi Plantae Animalia

3. Bacteria are classified by SHAPE and BIOCHEMICALS

4. Protista are classified by cell structures like cilia and flagella

5. Fungi are classified by how they make SPORES Life Cycle

6. Plants are classified by VASCULAR tissue & REPRODUCTIVE structures MOSS (and relatives) has NO vascular tissue. All other plant groups DO have vascular tissue Life Cycle

7. Ferns reproduce with SPORES, not seeds Life Cycle

8. Conifers have seeds in CONES

9. CONES are male or female Life Cycle

10. ANGIOSPERMS are flowering plants Life Cycle

11. Flowering plants can be MONOCOTS or DICOTS

12. A COTYLEDON is a seed part

13. Animal Phyla Porifera (sponges) Cnidaria (jellyfish) Platyhelminthes (flatworms) Nematoda (roundworms) Annelida (segmentedworms) Mollusca (snails, clams, squid) Arthropoda (insects, crabs) Echinodermata (starfish) Chordata (vertebrates)

14. Phylum Porifera: the Sponges

15. Phylum Spongebobius: Porifera are heterotrophic cells that group together

16. Phylum Cnidaria: all members have stinging cells and one body opening

17. Sponge Bob walking his jellyfish

18. Phylum Cnidaria: corals and jellyfish

19. Phylum Platyhelminthes….the flatworms They all have one body opening and a HEAD (CEPHALIZATION)

20. Phylum Nematoda: the roundworms All members of this group have TWO body openings

21. Phylum Annelida: the segmented worms

22. Phylum Mollusca: All have a MANTLE which can produce “shell”

23. Phylum Arthropoda: All have an exoskeleton made of protein

24. Phylum Echinodermata: Starfish and relatives All have spiny skin and TUBE FEET

25. Phylum Chordata All have: Dorsal nerve cord Pharyngeal gill structures MOST have a backbone (vertebrae)

26. Phylum Chordata with no backbone

27. Phylum Chordata: Class Chondrichthyes

28. Phylum Chordata: Class Osteichthyes

29. Phylum Chordata, Class Amphibia

30. Phylum Chordata, Class Reptilia

32. Phylum Chordata, Class Aves

34. How did this happen? Write a story that explains these observations: DDT is an insect poison invented in 1941. When it was sprayed on mosquitoes in Savannah in 1942, 99% of mosquitoes died. When DDT was sprayed in Savannah in 1966, only 61% of the mosquitoes died. DDT is no longer used to control mosquitoes in Savannah
