There are currently Six kingdoms. Kingdom Example Archaebacteria Extremophile bacteria Eubacteria Typical bacteria Protista Seaweed, Amoeba, Slime Mold Fungi Yeast, Mushrooms Plantae Moss, Fern, Holly, Oak Tree Animalia Worms, Fish, Birds, Frogs, Humans.

Is It Living? Activity Title this part of your notebook with the same title mentioned above “Is it living?” 2. Create a list numbered 1-20. 3. Answer the following question for each of the items in the back of the room: Is it living yes/no? Why do you state this item is living or not based on your definition from the video you watched.

Is It Living? – Wrap up Discuss with your partner to check and compare responses. Group discussion

Characteristics of life and life processes. 1. Organization (The Level of complexity) Organism Organ System Tissues Cells Molecules Atoms/Elements

Characteristics of life and life processes – cont. b. All living things need six essential elements (atoms): Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorous, Sulfur, “CHNOPS”. c. All living things are made of cells. One-celled organism – Single celled Many-celled organism – Multicellular

STERNGRR Foldable – Follow up Complete assignment with a table partner. Raise your hand and show me your completed assignment so that I may check you off for completion. Glue/Tape assignment into notebook. 4. Discussion of topics.

“TO MAKE” How organisms build necessary molecules. Synthesis “TO MAKE” How organisms build necessary molecules.

“TO MOVE” How organisms get what they need to their cells. Transport “TO MOVE” How organisms get what they need to their cells.

How organisms get rid of their waste and balance their fluids. Excretion How organisms get rid of their waste and balance their fluids.

Regulation How organisms control their body processes. HOMEOSTASIS - maintain constant internal condition An adaptation is an inherited structure, behavior, or internal process that enables organisms to better survive an environment. Ex.: Gills on a fish

How organisms ingest and break down food. Nutrition How organisms ingest and break down food.

Growth/Development Growth – to increase in size. Increases the number of cells of a multicellular organism. Development – Change that taeks place in structure and function of an organism during its life cycle. Example: Embryo becomes a fetus.

How organisms make new individuals like themselves. Reproduction How organisms make new individuals like themselves.

Respiration(Cellular) How organisms get oxygen and release carbon dioxide to make usable energy.
