Introduction Suppose you had only 10 minutes to run into a supermarket to get what you needed. Could you do it? In most supermarkets this would be an easy task. You would probably head straight to the area where the items were located. But what if you had to shop for the same items in a market where things were randomly placed throughout the store. Where would you begin? You would have to search through a lot of things before you found what you needed! You could be there for a long time! Biologists have organized living things with similarities into groups so that the organisms are easier to study. This process is called classification.

Task Working with your 6 o’clock partner, you will research the distinguishing characteristics of kingdoms of organisms, the distinguishing characteristics of major animal and plant phyla and the characteristics of the species.

As you explore keep the questions on the following page in mind but don’t answer: Why do scientists classify? What are the major levels of classification? How are organisms classified? What is binomial nomenclature? What are the six different kingdoms of organisms that are generally recognized by scientists today? What are some examples of major animal and plant phyla?

Process Follow the directions for each section carefully. Answer all questions on a separate sheet of paper.

Why Do Scientists Classify? Classification is the process of grouping things based on their similarities. Biologists use classification to organize living things into groups so that the organisms are easier to study. The scientific study of how living things are classified is called taxonomy.

When you put your clothes away in your dresser/closet, you probably organize them according to what they are (pants/shirts/socks). When you do this, you are using a classification system. It is the same when you are finding a word in a dictionary or an encyclopedia. In these cases, you are also using classification systems, but these ones are based on alphabetical order. Classification systems are all around us and are used to help us make sense of the world and to bring order.

First, scientists classify objects as to whether they are living or non-living. We are only going to deal with living things, so look at the pictures on the next slide and sort these living things into two (2) categories in a way that makes sense to you. **Record them on your paper as your instructor will check it.

TIGER SNAKE TREE BACTERIA FLOWER MUSHROOMS DOG BEE SQUID FISH EAGLE FROG OWL SLIME MOLD CROCODILE RAT

What characteristic did you use to group these pictures? Characteristic: _____________ Record it on your paper next to the table you made. Scientists use properties or characteristics of living things when they are classifying, too. They might use such factors as appearance, structure, motility (how it moves around), habitat and its use.

Look at the pictures again and group them a second time into two (2) categories using one of these properties. Record it on your paper a second time Remember to state which characteristic or property you used for classifying. Characteristic: _______________ (There should now be 2 tables in your notebook)

TIGER SNAKE TREE BACTERIA FLOWER MUSHROOMS DOG BEE SQUID FISH EAGLE FROG OWL SLIME MOLD CROCODILE RAT

Classify Organisms Based on Physical Features What characteristics may have been used to group these beetles? Write as many answers as you can on your paper. (at least 4)

Levels of Classification Organisms are grouped by their shared characteristics.

Understanding Classification #123 1 st Street Harbour View Virginia Suffolk Virginia Imagine a room filled with everybody from the state of Virginia. Suffolk. neighborhood street house. There may be some people from Suffolk. There may be some people from your neighborhood. There may be some people that live on your street. You will be the only one that lives in your house. The most general group you belong to is the state. The most specific group you belong to is the house. The more levels you share with others, the more you have in common.

Levels of Classification Click on the following link to complete a classification activity. Write down what the picture was on your paper. Return to this webquest when you are done.

Binomial Nomenclature Linnaeus devised a system of naming organisms. Linnaeus placed organisms in groups based on their observable features. Each organism has a unique, two- part scientific name. This naming system is called binomial nomenclature. You can click on each picture below to see what their scientific names are.

Kingdoms Any grouping of organisms into kingdoms is based on several factors: ◦Presence of a nucleus ◦Unicellular or multi-cellular ◦How organisms get their food. Six different kingdoms of organisms are generally recognized by scientists today ◦Eubacteria ◦Archaeabacteria ◦Protista ◦Fungi ◦Plantae ◦Animalia

Kingdoms, continued Go to the following website find out what the main characteristics of these kingdoms are. Complete the following chart on your paper. ProtistsFungiPlantsAnimals

Recognize Examples of Major Animal Phyla Unscramble each word and use the internet to answer the questions that follow. Write the words and answers on paper. Use the following link: a r d c i n n i a __________________ 1. List 3 examples of this phyla. l o l u k s s m ____________________ 2. Name the 3 groupings of this phyla. n e a d i l s n _______________________ 3. How many species of this phyla are there?

Animal Phyla, cont. Unscramble each word and use the internet to answer the questions that follow. Write the words and answers on paper. Use the following link: d o a r h r t o p s _________________ 4. This phyla is the first animal group to have _______ legs. m r d e h c i o n e s ____________________ 5. This phyla generally have ____ arms and dwell at the bottom of oceans’ levels. e t a c o h r d s ____________________ 6. Animal groups in this phyla include _____, _____, _____, ______and _____.

Recognize Examples of Major Plant Phyla s m o s e s _____________ 1. This plant phyla are found in _____ areas and do not grow vertically too high but can spread out to be a yard long. o f r e s c n i ______________ 2. This plant phyla bears ______, instead of real fruits. n r s f e _______________ 3. This plant phyla can mostly be found in ________ _______ _________. w o f l r n i g e a l p s n t _________ ________ 4. The four basic parts of this plant phyla are ______, _______, _______, and _______. Unscramble each word and use the internet to answer the questions that follow. Write the words and answers on paper. Use the following link:

Now, answer these questions. Why do scientists classify? What are the major levels of classification? How are organisms classified? What is binomial nomenclature? What are the six different kingdoms of organisms that are generally recognized by scientists today? What are some examples of major animal and plant phyla?
