20. Fish

21. BirdsBy shreena, nahum, alondra, and charlie OBJECTIVES • Describe the defining characteristics of each main category of life.

22. Characteristics of Life • Made of cells • Reproduce • Have a genetic code (DNA) • Use energy and materials • Respond to their environment Are birds prokaryotic or eukaryotic?Are they unicellular, multicellular, or both? • Birds are eukaryotes which means they have a nucleus • Birds are multicellular OBJECTIVES • Describe the defining characteristics of each main category of life.

23. Do they reproduce sexually or asexually – or some of both? • Birds reproduce sexuallyWhere do they keep their DNA? Inside a nucleus within a cell or just floating within the cell? • The DNA is inside the nucleus Are they autotrophs or heterotrophs?How do they make or get food? • They are heterotrophs • Use their beaks to pick things In what kinds of environments do these organisms live?Give examples of how these organisms can respond to their environment. They live in natural ecosystems and human society in many different ways They fly to the south when its winter

24. In what kinds of environments do these organisms live?Give examples of how these organisms can respond to their environment. • They live in natural ecosystems and human society in many different ways • They fly to the south when its winter OBJECTIVES • Describe the defining characteristics of each main category of life.

25. Kingdom: AnimaliaPhylum: Chordata Class: Aves Subclass: Neornithes Infraclass: Neognathae Order: Apodiformes Family: Trochilidae Genus: Calypte Species: C. Costae Costa Hummingbird • It is a type of hummingbird. • It's a very small hummingbird, at maxium it can be 3 to 3 1/2 inches at full size. • The feathers on its face is bright purple. • They are found in southwestern united states, California, and Mexico. OBJECTIVES • Describe the defining characteristics of each main category of life.

26. Presentation Summary OBJECTIVES Explain how a new species is placed into the appropriate categories. Follow a dichotomous key in order to classify a species.

27. Dichotomous keys! • A method to classify organisms based upon physical traits • Series of paired statements that are opposites • Ultimately results in the identification of the organism in question OBJECTIVES Explain how a new species is placed into the appropriate categories. Follow a dichotomous key in order to classify a species.

28. Dichotomous keys! • Everybody take off 1 shoe and place it on the kidney table (That’s right. I went there.) • Take 1 minute to silently write all possible traits that can be used to classify the shoes (e.g. laces, flats, patterns, etc) • Take 2 minutes to discuss with your elbow partner the traits you brainstormed OBJECTIVES Explain how a new species is placed into the appropriate categories. Follow a dichotomous key in order to classify a species.

29. Dichotomous keys! • Why do you think it’s important that the paired statements are opposites? • Which types of traits do you think should appear first in a dichotomous key? OBJECTIVES Explain how a new species is placed into the appropriate categories. Follow a dichotomous key in order to classify a species.

30. Dichotomous keys! • More practice… • Individually, or with a partner, you will be able to classify leaf samples by following a dichotomous key • Turn to page 462-463 • Classify the leaves pictured by following the key on the left • I will draw samples for any potentially unknown vocabulary on the board • This sheet will be collected as classwork! OBJECTIVES Explain how a new species is placed into the appropriate categories. Follow a dichotomous key in order to classify a species.

31. Dichotomous keys! • With a partner, you will CREATE a dichotomous key that can be followed • PROTOCOL: • Observe your specimens and brainstorm a list of ALL traits that applies to them • Decide upon the order of which traits to categorize your specimens and move them accordingly (like we did with the shoes) • Make a poster of your key (either style of representing the info – the way it is in the book or how we did it on the board) • Draw and label the specimen at the end of each classification pathway, and put your names on the poster OBJECTIVES Explain how a new species is placed into the appropriate categories. Follow a dichotomous key in order to classify a species.

32. EXIT TICKET(you may nibble on your specimens while writing) • What was challenging about creating your own key after following one that was already made? • What might make this process difficult in terms of classifying a species in real life? • How might a scientist avoid the difficulty?

33. Thursday 22 September 2011Topics: Classification of Life DO NOW: • Before fully reading Prompt 1, what do you think the question is about? What indications did you have? • Read the entire Prompt 1. Underline what you believe are key verbs, and circle what you believe are important buzzwords. OBJECTIVES • Effectively write an MCAS response about how to classify a species. HOMEWORK • Create a study guide sheet to use during a review game tomorrow (quest is 2nd half of class) AGENDA • Practice MCAS writing prompts with Mr. Lerner!

34. Brainstorm • With your elbow partner, take 2 minutes to share what you identified in the Do Now as key verbs and buzzwords. • KEY VERBS: • Identify • Justify • Describe • Explain • Determine • BUZZWORDS: • Closely related • Classification • Sea lions • Two types of evidence

35. Individually… • SILENTLY take 3 minutes to flip through your notes and jot down (in the margins of the prompt) any information that you feel is relevant to answer the question.

36. Types of Responses: • IDENTIFY • Name something (1 sentence max) • JUSTIFY (2-3 sentences) • Reason for your answer • DESCRIBE vs. EXPLAIN. (longer explanation) • Describe – give characteristics • Explain – answers ‘how’ or ‘why’ • DETERMINE • Combo of describe/explain

37. Final steps… • Re-organize the notes that you took in the margin to correspond to which portion of the prompt it will answer. • For example, all information that is RELEVANT to part 1 should be separated from all info for part 2. • AS YOUR EXIT TICKET: • Use all these steps to write out a FULL response to Prompt 1.
