  11. How Do We Categorize Foods? • http://www.choosemyplate.gov/food-groups/

  12. Life in Its Diverse Forms • Diversity is the hallmark of life. • The diversity of known life includes 1.8 million species. • Estimates of the total diversity range from 10 million to over 200 million species. Biosphere Ecosystem African savanna Community All organisms in savanna Population Herd of zebras Organism Zebra

  13. Prokaryotes Eukaryotes • At least four kingdoms of Eukarya • Plantae • Fungi • Animalia • Protists (a group of multiple kingdoms) The Three Domains of Life • The three domains of life are: • Bacteria • Archaea • Eukarya

  14. How is the diversity of our food related to the diversity of life? • Get out your books and come pick up one Reading Guide 01 per person • Please share your books in your group. • Although you will be working in groups, each person is responsible for turning in their own reading guide. • You will have 30 minutes. Divide up the work as you wish. Please be watchful of the time. • When you are done you can start work on Part I of our Project until we come back together as a whole class.
