  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 LifeCycle

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

  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

  31. Phylum Chordata, Class Reptilia

  32. Phylum Chordata, Class Aves

  33. 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
