3 What does it mean to classify an object?

4 In science, objects/organisms are classified based first on their STRUCTURE, or what they look like. The power of OBSERVATION!

5 Non-living Living Dead

6 Living things are made of cells. Living things obtain and use energy. Living things grow and develop. Living things reproduce. Living things respond to their environment. Living things adapt to their environment.

7 Using the objects on your table, classify the objects into as many small groups as possible. Be ready to defend your choices.

8 Fold paper into 3 sections At the top of each section write living, non living, and once living On one side, you need to write 5 facts On the other side, you need to write 5 examples

11 Polar Bear Project Due Tomorrow!

12 For this unit, there will not be a traditional test. Your project requires a collection of 30 items, with 10 items from each of the three basic categories: living, dead, non-living. More information to come, start collecting!

13 Linnaeus developed the classification system that we use to group organisms The first system had only two areas, plants and animals. Binomial nomenclature (2 names) 3 domains, 6 kingdoms

14 Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species Animalia Chordata Mammalia Primates Hominidae Homo sapiens

15 Classification systems start with the largest or more general group (like Animal) and work towards the specific (like species). Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species D (Daring), K (King), P (Philip), C (came), O (over) F (from), G (Greece), S (smiling). For species, there is just one!

16 Kingdom-Animalia Phylum-Chordata Class-Mammalia Order-Carnivora Family-Canidae Genus-Canis Species-lupus

17 2 part species name, or scientific name Genus species Eubalaena australis Caretta caretta

18 Homo erectus Homo sapien

19 Domain Archaea Kingdom Archaebacteria Domain Bacteria Kingdom Eubacteria Domain Eukarya Kingdom Protista Kingdom Fungi Kingdom Plantae Kingdom Animalia Staphylococcus epidermidis

20 Archaebacteria Prokaryotic Unicellular Nannoarchaeum equitans Eubacteria Prokaryotic Unicellular Chlorobi Protista Fungi Plantae Eukaryotic Unicellular/ multicellular Eukaryotic Unicellular/ multicellular Euglena gracilis Penicillium candida Eukaryotic Multicellular Carnegiea gigantea Animalia Eukayotic Multicellular Homo sapiens

21 Uses pairs of contrasting, descriptive statements to separate and lead to the identification of an organism What are some descriptive differences between these two objects?

22

23 How do scientists determine exactly what the object is? Start general, with the largest grouping Have two options available This is called a classification KEY, or just a key

24 Complete the worksheet on Kingdoms see document camera and handouts

25 Mushroom book, A, page Read the section. Take notes. Answer all reading checkpoints and section 2 assessment questions. Mushroom book, A, pages Read the section. Take notes. Answer all reading checkpoints and section3 assessment questions. Class activity: classify the objects writing a key

26 Using the materials supplied to your station, classify the objects from the most general grouping to the most specific. One person will neatly write your key Upon finishing your key, exchange it with another station and test the Key by sorting the objects based upon their Key.

27 Having collected an assortment of 30 items, (can be pictures/clips of items) living, non-living and dead, classify these items by writing a key. This key should classify the objects down to their most specific characteristics which can be seen without aid of a microscope or magnifying glass. I will follow your key using your objects to determine your grade!!

28 All three categories, living, non-living and dead are represented. 5 pts There are 10 different types of objects from each category. 10 pts Each object is assigned and clearly labeled with a number. 10 pts The key is written neatly or typed. 5 pts

29 The key follows the guidelines taught in class: -two selections per number, 10 pts -groupings start general and move to specific, 10 pts -most objects can be classified to individual descriptions. 10 pts Using the student written key, the group of objects can be classified correctly according to the key. 40 pts total points out of 100
