  2. Why classify? • Think of three examples where we group things. • Why do we group these things?

  3. Classifying Living Things • We put livings things into two large groups: • Animals • Plants

  4. Animals • Animals are spilt into two major groups: • Vertebrates • Invertebrates

  5. Vertebrates • These are animals with a backbone. • There are five groups of vertebrates: • Amphibians • Birds • Fish • Mammals • Reptiles

  6. Amphibians • Have moist skin • Lay jelly coated eggs in water • Lives on land and water

  7. Birds • Have feathers and hollow bones • Lay hard shelled eggs • Warm blooded

  8. Fish • Have wet scales • Lays eggs in water • Lives in water

  9. Mammals • Have hair and produce milk • Give birth to live offspring (no eggs) • Warm blooded

  10. Reptiles • Have dry scales • Lay leathery shelled eggs • Cold blooded

  11. Summary of Vertebrates

  12. Invertebrates • These are animals without a backbone • There are eight groups of invertebrates • Molluscs • Flatworms • Annelids • Roundworms • Sponges • Echinoderms • Cnidarians • Arthropods

  13. Crawl on a single fleshy pad. Can have a shell Molluscs

  14. Flatworms • Have flat worm like bodies

  15. Annelids • Have round worm like bodies • Have bodies divided into segments

  16. Roundworms • Have long thin round worm like bodies • Have bodies with no segments

  17. Sponges • Have bodies made of loosely joined cells

  18. Echinoderms • Have bodies divided into five parts • Have spiny outer covering

  19. Cnidarians • Have thin sack like bodies • Have tentacles

  20. Arthropods • Have lots of legs and segmented bodies. • There are four group of arthropods: • Arachnids • Centipedes & Millipedes • Crustaceans • Insects

  21. Arthropods - Arachnid • Have four pairs of legs. • Have bodies divided into two sections

  22. Arthropods – Centipedes & Millipedes • Have long thin bodies and pairs of legs on each of their many body sections

  23. Arthropods - Crustacean • Have five-seven pairs of legs • First pair often used as pincers • Bodies covered in shell

  24. Arthropods - Insects • Have three pairs of legs • Bodies divided into three sections • Often have wings
