Classifying Organisms and Sorting Animals and Plants

In this lesson, students will learn how scientists classify organisms into groups based on specific characteristics. They will demonstrate the sorting of animals into vertebrates and invertebrates, and further classify vertebrates into fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. They will also learn about the classification of plants into vascular and nonvascular groups.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Mrs. Konken 5th Grade - Timber Ridge Elementary Students will classify organisms into groups and relate how they determined the groups with how and why scientists use classification.

  2. Demonstrate how animals are sorted into groups (vertebrate or invertebrate)

  3. Demonstrate how vertebrates are sorted into groups (fish, amphibians, reptile, bird and mammal).

  4. Demonstrate how animals are sorted into groups (vertebrate or invertebrate) and how vertebrates are sorted into groups (fish, amphibians, reptile, bird and mammal).

  5. Demonstrate how plants are sorted into groups. Vascular - have tissue that carry water and food (example: trees ) Nonvascular - don't have tissue to carry food and water to the rest of the plant (example: mosses)

  6. Vascular Plants • Has a system of tubes for the transport of nutrients and water. • adds support so plants can get big

  7. Nonvascular Plants • do not have a system of tubes • do not have true roots • do not have stems • do not have leaves Mosses Hornworts Liverworts
