Exploring Animal Classification: Levels and Features

Understand why biologists classify animals, recognize classification levels, and learn characteristics used to group organisms. Discover the importance of taxonomy in organizing living things for study. Explore the naming system and levels of classification, from the domains to Kingdoms, in the scientific study of categorizing life forms. Uncover how scientists group organisms based on similarities and delve into the fascinating world of classifying diverse species. Increase your knowledge and appreciation for the diversity of life on Earth.

  1. CLASSIFYING ORGANISMS LS CH 7 SEC 4

  2. GOAL/PURPOSE • STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN WHY BIOLOGISTS CLASSIFY ANIMALS. • RELATE THE LEVELS OF CLASSIFICATION BETWEEN ORGANISMS • LIST CHARACTERISTICS USED TO CLASSIFY ORGANISMS INTO GROUPS.

  3. CHOOSE 5 WORDS A DEFINE

  4. ANIMAL KINGDOM- WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ANIMAL?

  5. LIST 5 FACTS ABOUT YOUR FAVORITE ANIMAL

  6. WHY CLASSIFY? • KEY- SCIENTIST HAVE IDENTIFIED MORE THAN 1.5 MILLION SPECIES • KEY- SCIENTIST GROUP ORGANISMS BASED ON SIMILARITIES IN THEIR FEATURES, BEHAVIOR, AND DNA. • CLASSIFICATION- IS THE PROCESS OF GROUPING THINGS BASED ON THEIR SIMILARITIES

  7. KEY-Q? THE WAY SCIENTIST ORGANIZE ALL LIVING THINGS IS CALLED THE?

  8. CONT’D • KEY- BIOLOGIST USE CLASSIFICATION TO ORGANIZE LIVING THINGS INTO GROUPS SO THAT THE ORGANISMS ARE EASIER TO STUDY. • TAXONOMY- IS THE SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF HOW LIVING THINGS ARE CLASSIFIED

  9. KEY- COPY THE LEVELS BIGGEST TO SMALLEST

  10. OCEAN LIFE IS JUST AS AMAZING CAN YOU SEE THE SHARK?

  11. NAMING SYSTEM • KEY- TAXONOMY INVOLVES NAMING OF THE ORGANISM. • BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE- THE NAMING SYSTEM USED THAT GIVES EACH ORGANISM A 2-PART NAME. • EX- FELIS CONCOLOR- MOUNTAIN LION OR FELIS DOMESTICUS- HOUSE CAT

  12. COPY CLASSIFICATION OF A ORCA LOOK UP TH 2 PART NAME FOR ORCA

  13. CHOOSE 3 DIFFERENT ANIMALS AND LIST THEIR REGULAR NAMES AND LOOK UP THEIR 2 PART SCIENTIFIC NAMES

  14. CONT,D • KEY -THE FIRST WORD IN THE SYSTEM IS CALLED THE GENUS. • GENUS- IS A CLASSIFICATION GROUPING THAT CONTAINS SIMILAR, CLOSELY RELATED ORGANISMS. • EX- ALL CATS BEGIN WITH ‘FELIS’ ‘felidae’plural • KEY- THE SECOND WORD IN THE NAME OFTEN DESCRIBES A DISTINCTIVE FEATURE OF AN ORGANISM, SUCH AS WHERE IT LIVES OR ITS APPEARANCE.

  15. COPY

  16. BrainPOP • http://www.brainpop.com/science/diversityoflife/classification/

  17. LEVELS OF CLASSIFICATION • KEY- MOST BIOLOGISTS TODAY CLASSIFY ORGANISMS INTO EIGHT LEVELS • KEY- THE MORE LEVELS THAT 2 ORGANISMS SHARE, THE MORE CHARACTERISTICS THEY HAVE IN COMMON.

  18. COPY NAMES ONLY

  19. KEY- THE THREE DOMAINS (BIG CATEGORIES) • 1. BACTERIA- • 2. ARCHEA- • 3. EUKAYRA- INCLUDES THE PROTIST, FUNGI, PLANTS AND ANIMALS KINGDOMS • KEY- ORGANISMS ARE PLACED INTO DOMAINS AND KINGDOMS BASED ON THEIR CELL TYPE, THEIR ABILITY TO MAKE FOOD, AND THE NUMBER OF CELLS IN THEIR BODIES

  20. DOMAIN- BACTERIA • PROKARYOTES- WHOSE CELLS LACK A NUCLEUS • KEY- FOUND EVERYWHERE IN YOUR FOOD, ON YOUR DESK, IN YOUR BODY • KEY- SOME ARE AUTOTROPHS (MAKE THEIR OWN FOOD) AND SOME ARE HETEROTROPHS (DON’T MAKE OWN FOOD)

  21. DOMAIN- ARCHEA • KEY – NAME MEANS “ANCIENT” • FOUND IN DEEP OCEAN VENTS AND OTHER EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS • HOT SPRINGS, SWAMPS, INTESTINES OF COWS • UNICELLULAR PROKARYOTES, • AUTO AND HETEROTROPHS

  22. DOMAIN - EUKARYA • KEY- SCIENTIST CLASSIFY PROTIST, FUNGI, PLANTS, AND ANIMALS • EUKARYOTES- ORGANISMS WITH CELLS THAT CONTAIN NUCLEI • FROM SEAWEEDS, TO MUSHROOMS, TO TOMATOES TO DOGS ALL FALL INTO DOMAIN EUKARYA

  23. BRAINPOP • http://www.brainpop.com/science/diversityoflife/sixkingdoms/

  24. WRITE THE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS • 1- WHY DO BIOLOGIST CLASSIFY? • 2- LIST THE LEVELS OF CLASSIFICATION BEGINNING WITH DOMAIN • 3- SEARCH THE CLASSIFICATION OF HUMANS. NAME THE EIGHT LEVELS.
