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. Animal-like Protista are classified by cell structures like cilia and flagella

5. Protista includes several types of Algae and Seaweed classified based on chemical criteria (PS pigments)

6. Fungi are classified by how they make SPORES Time Lapse Life Cycle

7. 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 L.C. Video Better L.C. Vid.

8. Ferns reproduce with SPORES, not seeds Life Cycle L.C. Video

9. Conifers have seeds in CONES

10. CONES are male or female Life Cycle The Birds and Bees of Ponderosa Pine Trees

11. ANGIOSPERMS are flowering plants Life Cycle Snappy singsong L.C. Video Double Fertilization L.C. Video

12. Flowering plants can be MONOCOTS or DICOTS

13. A COTYLEDON is a seed part

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

15. Phylum Porifera: the Sponges

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

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

18. Sponge Bob walking his jellyfish

19. Phylum Cnidaria: corals and jellyfish

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

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

22. Phylum Annelida: the segmented worms

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

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

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

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

27. Phylum Chordata with no backbone

28. Phylum Chordata: Class Chondrichthyes

29. Phylum Chordata: Class Osteichthyes

30. Phylum Chordata, Class Amphibia

31. Phylum Chordata, Class Reptilia
