1. Title of notes: THE 6 KINGDOMS OF LIFE
p. 32 & 33 RS

2. learning about kingdoms.
Learning target
I can give examples from each of the kingdoms and list their characteristics.
Today I am…
learning about kingdoms.
So that I’ll be able to…
understand how classification works and is used for animals and plants.
I’ll know I’ve got it when…
I can list the characteristics of each kingdom and give an example.

4. Alive? To be considered living, an organism must…
Contain all 7 characteristics of life
DNA
Reproduce
Use energy
Adapt
Respond to Stimuli
Made of cells
Grow and Develop

5. Animal Kingdom * Food – Cannot make their own food.
* Multi-cellular organisms
* They have a nucleus (eukaryotic)
* Can move on their own.
Reproduction – Asexual and sexual
Examples – Humans, crustaceans, spiders, insects, fish, birds, mammals, sponges, hydras, coral, worms, etc.

6. Plant Kingdom * Food – make their own food by photosynthesis.
*Multi-cellular
* They have a nucleus (eukaryotic)
* Cannot move on their own.
Reproduction – Sexually and asexually
Examples – rose, cactus, grass, daisy, ferns, trees

7. Kingdom Fungi * Food – do not make their own food. Decomposers
* Unicellular and multicellular.
* Have a nucleus (eukaryotic)
* Cannot move
Reproduction – Sexual and Asexual
Examples – yeast, mushrooms, mold, mildew, athletes foot, ringworm

8. Kingdom Protists
* Food – Some make their own food (plantlike); others cannot (animal-like).
* Unicellular and Multi-cellular
* They have a nucleus (eukaryotic)
* Some can move on their own.
Reproduction – Asexual & Sexual
Examples – Euglena, paramecium, amoeba, slime mold, volvox, algae,diatoms, giant kelp

9. KINGDOM EUBACTERIA *Food – Some can make their own food: other cannot.
* Unicellular organisms.
* No Nucleus (prokaryotic)
* Some move and other do not.
Reproduction – asexual
Examples: anthrax, strep, e-coli, and bacteria they help digest food

10. KINGDOM ARCHAEBACTERIA
* Food- Some cannot make their own food; others do.
* Unicellular organisms
* No Nucleus (prokaryotic)
* Some can move and other cannot
Reproduction – asexual
Three main types – salt loving, heat loving, and methane makers, harsh environments

11. Kingdom Archaebacteria
This hot, sulfur-rich, acidic pool in Yellowstone National Park is home to species of Archea,  including Sulfolobus.
Some archaens live 1000’s of miles deep in the ocean near superheated volcanic vents.
