3. Diversity of Organisms: What do we already know? BrainPOP Teaser BrainPOP Teaser 1)How could animals be classified (i.e. carnivores)? Appearance Habitat 2) What are some differences among animals (i.e. skin)? Fur, hair, feathers, scales Vertebrate or non vertebrate 3) How do animals and plants get energy (review)?review Animals eat other animals or plants Plants use sun light and carbon dioxide Structure of Living Things: Lesson 3

4. Diversity of Organisms: Vocabulary Part I 1) Kingdom: The broadest group in which organisms are classified 2) Vertebrate: Animals that have a backbone 3) Invertebrate: Animals that do not have a backbone 4) Vascular: Plants that have tubes inside to transport food & water 5) Nonvascular: Plants that do not have tubes 6)Fungus: Unicellular or multicellular plants that cannot make their own food 7) Bacteria: Tiny unicellular organisms that capture or absorb food Structure of Living Things: Lesson 3

8. Diversity of Organisms: Main Ideas 1)How are living things grouped together?  1)Based off of similarities and differences Quick Check -Critical Thinking: Do you think cats belong in a group with horses? Structure of Living Things: Lesson 3

9. Diversity of Organisms: Main Ideas 2) What do animals have in common?  They are all vertebrates They all eat other animals or plants to get energy Quick Check -Critical Thinking: What is the first thing scientists would want to know about a new animal in order to classify it?  Structure of Living Things: Lesson 3

10. Diversity of Organisms: Main Ideas 3) What do plants have in common?  They all make their own food Quick Check -What is the major difference between plants? Plants are either vascular or nonvascular. Structure of Living Things: Lesson 3

11. Diversity of Organisms: Main Ideas 4) What are fungi and bacteria?  Fungi: Unicellular or multicellular plants that cannot make their own food Bacteria: Tiny unicellular organisms that capture or absorb food Quick Check -Critical Thinking: Create a Venn diagram that compares bacteria cells to plant cells?  Structure of Living Things: Lesson 3
