Classification

Lesson Learning goal: Success criteria: What is a species? Know the 6 kingdoms and what they mean Success criteria: Have a correct definition for species written in your book. Be able to recite the 6 kingdoms and give at least one example of an organism in each.

What is a species? An organism that is able to interbreed and produce fertile, viable offspring.

History of classification: Linnaeus Carolus Linnaeus known as the father of modern taxonomy Classified organisms by their structure Developed naming system still used today. Binomial nomenclature Two-word name (Genus & species) Example: Scientific name: Homo sapien Common name: Humans What are the rules for writing scientific names? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal

Kingdoms “Groups” of living things. Organisms in this group have similar characteristics and are related to each other.

Whittaker’s 5 Kingdoms (Old System)

6 Kingdoms (Updated System) Prokaryotes (Used to be 1 kingdom, Monera) Bacteria Archaea Eukaryotes Protista Plantae Fungi Animalia

6 Kingdoms E. coli Amoeba Tree Kangaroo Mushroom Bacteria Protista Plantae Kangaroo Animalia Mushroom Archaea Fungi

Lesson Review Learning goal: Success criteria: What is a species? Know the 6 kingdoms and what they mean Success criteria: Have a correct definition for species written in your book. Be able to recite the 6 kingdoms and give at least one example of an organism in each.

Lesson Learning goal: Success criteria: Know and understand the seven levels of classification Understand how to write the scientific name of a species in the Genus species format. Be introduced to identification keys. Success criteria: Be able to recite the seven levels of classification (kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species). Complete the scientific naming activity correctly.

Classification hierarchy Kingdom (eg. Animalia) Phylum (eg. Mollusca) Class (eg. Gastropoda) Order (eg. Archeaogastropoda) Family (eg. Muricidae) Genus (eg. Murex) Species (eg. brandaris) Kingdom (broadest) Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species (most specific) Binomial Name: Murex brandaris

As you move towards the species level, organisms in that group are more closely related.

How do we identify diverse organisms? In the lab: DNA – the blueprint of life. Every species has common DNA Field guides Dichotomous keys

Identification today – field guides Field guides are a commonly used type of reference book to help people identify organisms. These books are specially designed to assist you in ‘on-the spot’ identification. They often contain brief written descriptions and pictures and are Small enough to take outside when you are observing wildlife.

Animals

Learning Goal Success Criteria To learn about the different vertebrate and invertebrate animal classes. Success Criteria Complete the tables in the classification activity.

Ectothermic (Cold blooded): Get body temperature from their environment. Endothermic (Warm blooded): Control their body temperature internally.

VERTEBRATES : MAMMALS COVERED WITH HAIR / FUR. PRODUCE MILK FOR YOUNG. 4 CHAMBERED HEART. USUALLY ON LAND. ENDOTHERMIC .

VERTEBRATES : REPTILES SKIN COVERED IN SCALES. LAY EGGS. DRY SKIN. ECTOTHERMIC.

VERTEBRATES : FISH HAVE FINS. HAVE GILLS. MOIST SKIN. ECTOTHERMIC.

VERTEBRATES : AMPHIBIAN LIVE ON LAND. LAY EGGS. YOUNG LIVE IN WATER AT START. ECTOTHERMIC. EXAMPLE : SALAMANDER

VERTEBRATES : BIRDS HAVE FEATHERS HAVE WINGS. LAY EGGS. ENDOTHERMIC.

OTHER VERTEBRATES

INVERTEBRATES : ARTHROPODS LARGEST GROUP in the animal world. Exoskeleton. Jointed legs. EXAMPLES - SPIDERS - CRUSTACEANS - CENTIPEDES

INVERTEBRATES : FLAT & SEGMENTED WORMS SOFT MOIST BODY. EXAMPLES - EARTHWORM - LEECH - TAPEWORM

INVERTEBRATES : CNIDARIANS MOST LIVE IN THE SEA. SOFT BODIES STINGING TENTACLES

INVERTEBRATES : MOLLUSCS HAVE A SHELL OUTSIDE OR INSIDE A SOFT BODY.

INVERTEBRATES : ECHINODERMS LIVE IN THE SEA. HAVE SPINY SKIN.
