LIFE SCIENCE 6TH GRADE

CHAPTER ONE LESSON ONE

UNDESTAND AND APPLY FOR BENCHMARK TESTS LESSON ONE 1 UNDESTAND AND APPLY FOR BENCHMARK TESTS LESSON ONE 1. ALL LIVING THINGS HAVE A SHERED ORGANIZATION, CONTAIN SIMILAR CHEMICALS, USE ENERGY, RESPOND TO THEIR SURROUNDINGS, GROW AND DEVELOP, AND REPRODUCE. 2. LIVING THINGS ARISE FROM OTHER LIVING THINGS THROUGH REPRODUCTION. 3. ALL LIVING THINGS MUST SATISFY THEIR BASIC NEEDS FOR FOOD, WATER, LIVING SPACE, AND STABLE INTERNAL CONDITIONS. TEST LESSON TWO 1. BIOLOGISTS USE CLASSIFICATION TO ORGANIZE LIVING THINGS INTO GROUPS SO THAT THE ORGANISMS ARE EASIER TO STUDY. 2. THE LEVELS OF CLASSIFICATION ARE DOMAIN, KINGDOM, PHYLUM, CLASS, ORDER, FAMILY, GENUS, AND SPECIES. 3. TAXONOMIC KEYS ARE USEFUL TOOLS THAT HELP DETERMINE THE INDENTITY OF ORGANISMS.

UNDESTAND AND APPLY FOR BENCHMARK TEST LESSON THREE 1 UNDESTAND AND APPLY FOR BENCHMARK TEST LESSON THREE 1. ORGANISMS ARE PLACED INTO DOMAINS AND KINGDOMS BASED ON THEIR CELL TYPE, ABILITY TO MAKE FOOD, AND THE NUMBER OF CELLS IN THEIR BODIES. TEST LESSON FOUR 1. SPECIES WITH SIMILAR EVOLUTIONARY HISTORIES ARE CLASSIFIED MORE CLOSELY TOGETHER.
