Bell work

1. Bell work • What do you remember about classification , food webs and food chains. • http://www.sciencenetlinks.com/interactives/class.html • Add up yourscore – how many points can you get?

2. Learning Outcomes • You: • Would be able to name the 5 kingdoms (and viruses) and the classification groups • Should be able to explain why we need to classify • Could be able to define the major characteristics of viruses, bacteria, protists, fungi, plants and animals.

3. Starter • What do you know. • There are cards on your desk. • The 5 kingdoms • An extra classification group! • Characteristics of those groups. • Try and match the characteristic with the correct kingdom! • We will do this again at the end to check what you’ve learnt!

4. PowerPoint task • All this information needs to be put into a PowerPoint for the new wildlife trust visitors centre. • You will spend the first half of the lesson gathering information and the second half putting it into your presentation. • Each person must complete a sheet to help them gather their information

5. What and why! What can you remember about classification? Suppose you had only 10 minutes to run into a supermarket to get what you needed for tea. Could you do it? In most supermarkets this would be an easy task. But what if the goods were randomly placed throughout the store. You could be there for a long time! Biologists have organised living things with similarities into groups so that the organisms are easier to study. This process is called classification.

6. What is classification? Classification is the process of grouping things based on their similarities. Biologists use classification to organise living things into groups so that the organisms are easier to study. (remember classifying the savory snacks) The scientific study of how living things are classified is called taxonomy.

7. Learning Outcomes • You: • Would be able to name the 5 kingdoms (and viruses) and the classification groups • Should be able to explain why we need to classify • Could be able to define the major characteristics of viruses, bacteria, protists, fungi, plants and animals.

8. Glossary • Remember to keep a glossary of tricky scientific names! You will need this for your PowerPoint for the visitors centre.

9. Levels of Classification Organisms aregrouped by theirsharedcharacteristics. Remember: Football classification

10. How do you remember it? • Kingdoms are divided into groups calledphyla • Phylaare subdivided intoclasses • Classes are subdivided intoorders • Ordersare subdivided intofamilies • Families are divided into genera • Genera contain closely relatedspecies • Species is unique • Mnemonic – can you think of one to remember the order? K P C O F G S

11. Levels of Classification Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species Example Mnemonics King Philip Came Over For Good Spaghetti. Kings Play Cards On Fat Green Stools

12. Learning Outcomes • You: • Would be able to name the 5 kingdoms (and viruses) and the classification groups • Should be able to explain why we need to classify • Could be able to define the major characteristics of viruses, bacteria, protists, fungi, plants and animals.

13. Individual task • Follow the directions for each section carefully. • Answer all the questions the sheet of paper. Each person must have a copy of the answers!

14. Classify Organisms Based on Physical Features What characteristics may have been used to group these beetles? Write answers on your paper. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

15. Levels of Classification • Click on the following link to complete a classification activity. Return to this powerpointwhen you are done. • Can you remember your mnemonic for the 7 classification groups? • Click “play this game” to start http://www.quia.com/pp/51115.html?AP_rand=463451876

16. Binomial Nomenclature • Linnaeus devised a system of naming organisms. Linnaeus placed organisms in groups based on how they looked. Each organism has a unique, two-part scientific name. This naming system is called binomial nomenclature. • Click on each picture below to see what their scientific names are. Old dude Linnaeus

17. Kingdom criteria • The grouping of organisms into kingdoms is based on these factors: • Whether there is a nucleus • If it is unicellular or multi-cellular • How the organisms get their food. • Six different kingdoms of organisms are generally recognized by scientists today • Bacteria (monera or prokaryotes) • Viruses • Protists • Fungi • Plants • Animals

18. Kingdoms, continued Go to the following website find out what the main characteristics of these kingdoms are. Complete the other work sheet “classification” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQ1JaYxBH40&feature=fvw

19. Which group have we forgotten? • Can you guess?

20. Viruses! Why do you think viruses aren’t included in the main 5 kingdoms? Viruses is an important category but because they aren't living they aren’t included in the 5 main kingdoms. UNSCRAMBLE

21. Viruses! Why do you think viruses aren’t included in the main 5 kingdoms? Viruses is an important category but because they aren't living they aren’t included in the 5 main kingdoms. UNSCRAMBLE

22. Characteristics of plantae

23. Characteristics of animalia

24. Phyla • Kings Play cards on fat green stools • Can you correctly work out what phyla these organisms in the animal kingdom come into? • http://www.teachersdomain.org/asset/lsps07_int_animalclass
