4. Organisms Any living thing is called an organism. Which of the following would be considered an organism? Frog Leech Rock Sand Elephant Ipod

5. What are living things like? The Cell Smallest unit of life Has an orderly structure Contains instructions for life Gets and uses materials from its surroundings

6. How organisms grow A one-celled organism grows by increasing the size of the cell. A many-celled organism grows by increasing the number of cells.

9. HOW ARE LIVING THINGS CLASSIFIED? 7 th Grade Chapter 8 Section 2

10. Do Now… Define genus, phylogeny and kingdom on index cards. Check Self Check questions #1-3 pg. 217

11. Objectives Students will… Describe how early scientists classified living things Explain the system of binomial nomenclature Demonstrate how to use a dichotomous key

12. Classification Binomial Nomenclature (words are in Latin) First Word Genus (a group of similar species) Second Word Feature of the organism

13. Classification Why people use scientific names to classify organisms 1) Using scientific names helps avoid mistakes 2) Organisms with similar evolutionary histories are classified together 3) Scientific names provide descriptive information about a species 4) Scientific names allow information about organisms to be organized easily and efficiently

14. Determining the phylogeny of an organism Scientists use… Similarities in structure Fossils Hereditary information Early stages of development

15. Classification of Animals Kingdom Phylum ClassOrder Family GenusSpecies Way to Remember Kangaroos Play Cellos, Orangutans Fiddle, Gorillas Sing

16. Tools for Identifying Organisms Dichotomous keys are used to identify organisms. They provide descriptions and illustrations of organisms and information about where an organism lives. For example—the characteristics used to identify mice in North America 1) Tail hair 2) Ear Size 3) Tail Length 4) Tail Coloration What characteristics could you use if you wanted to identify a dog?

19. USING A DICHOTOMOUS KEY AND INTRO TO THE CELL THEORY 7 th Grade

20. Review Now… Check Self Check questions #1-3 pg. 220 Hand in questions

21. Objectives Students will… Describe the development of the cell theory Practice working with a dichotomous key to identify macro invertebrate life

22. In the Beginning… Scientists didn’t know what cells looked like or even that they existed! In the late 1500s, a Dutch Optometrist created the first microscope by putting 2 magnifying glasses together in a tube.

23. Scientist Contributions ScientistsContribution Antonie van Leeuwenhoek Made a simple microscope Robert Hook Named cells after viewing cork under a microscope Matthias Schleiden Discovered that all plants are made of cells Theodor Schwann Discovered that all animals are made of cells Rudolph Virchow Proposed that every cell came from a cell that already existed
