Introduction
Humans group information by categorizing according to patterns of common properties. Scientists clarify the countless thousands of organisms into groups with each group possessing similar characteristics. Students observe and classify monera, protista, fungi, plants, and animals according to internal and external features.  Traditional and non-traditional systems are used to emphasize the process and the standard five kingdom system currently used by scientists.  Students will learn to the how all living things belong to one of five kingdoms. The animal kingdom wil be emphasized.

Instructional Objectives

  • After reading chapters 5 and 6 in your Fearon Science text, students will learn the meanings  of the vocabulary words listed under words to know. 
  • Students wille explain why a classification system of organisms is important.
  • Students will identify the five kingdoms of life and give an example of each.
  • Students will be able to list four characteristics of a mammal.
  • Students will be able to identify three vertebrates and three invertebrates.
  • Students will be able to provide a written and oral examlpe of a host/parasite relationship.
  • Students will differentiate between an amphibian, arthropod,  and a mammal.
  • Students will list at least three different kinds of animal cells and explain its function.

 
  1. After viewing the pictures of the five kingdoms on a laser disk, students will be able to identify  pictures of an organism in each  kingdoms. 
  2. After analyzing information from an Encarta CD, students will be able to compare the manner in which the organisms of the five kingdoms obtain  or make food. 
  3. Students will be able to draw a diagram comparing a protista to a monera.
  4. After collecting information from The World book CD, students will be able write a paragraph on how animals make food.
  5. After reading the chapter, students will be able to pass amultiple choice quiz on the kingdoms of life.
  6. Students will be able to identify the major differences between monera, protista, fungi, plants, and animals.
  7. Students will be able to present their findings on these chapters  in a Power Point multimedia presentation to an audience of peers and adults.,
  8. Students will be able to write, edit and revise their findings on the ninth grade structure standards using correct grammar, spelling and punctuation in a three page paper.
