Identify the following terms Classification system: a method of sorting and grouping things.

Identify the following terms Identification key: a list of questions and possible answers about the structural features of organisms to help identify an unknown species. Sample identification key: Adult Segmented Land Animals Arthropods Insects Does the animal have legs? How many legs does the arthropod have? What kind of wings does the insect have? a) Yes, Go to Arthropods. a) 6 legs ... Go to insects a) No wings ... Go to fleas b) No, Go to Annelid Worms. b) 8 legs ... Go to spiders b) 2 clear wings ... Go to flies c) More than 8 legs ... Go to Many-legged arthropods. c) 4 clear wings ... Go to bees

Identify the following terms Insect: arthropods that have three pairs of jointed legs, a body made up of three distinct parts, and an exoskeleton.

Identify the following terms Warm blooded: refers to animals that keep their body temperature at a roughly constant level. This involves the ability to cool down or produce more body heat.

Identify the following terms Cold-blooded: refers to animals that do not use their metabolism to maintain body temperature. They control their body temperature through external means, such as by basking in the sun or by hibernating.

Discuss with your partner: How can we differentiate between living things and non-living things? ( MRS GREN)

Discuss with your partner: Explain, with an example, how animals (not pets) adapt to their environments.

Explain, with an example, how animals (not pets) adapt to their environments. Adaptation Polar Bear Uses ice as a platform to find food. They have a layer of fat to help them stay warm and remain afloat. Beluga Whale They do not have a dorsal back fin which allows them to move easily under floating ice. They layer of blubber to insulate them in them in the cold water.
