Living Things

Front 1

Life Without A Backbone:

Back 1

* Invertebrates are animals that do not have a backbone.
* 97% of the animal kingdom are invertebrates.
* insects and some other invertebrates have exoskeletons or a hard outer covering that protects the animal's body and gives support.

Front 2

Classifying - Past and Present (part 2):

Back 2

* 1988 LYNN MARGULIS suggests a protoctist kingdom to replace the protist kingdom that is not widely accepted.
* 1990s some scientists propose 2 new kingdoms for classifying monerans.

Front 3

Kingdoms of Living Things:

Back 3

* The 5 kingdoms are Animals, Plants, Fungus, Protist, Moneran.
Kingdoms such as animal, fungi, protist, moneran have some organisms that have structures to allow them to move from place to place.
* Kingdoms such as fungi, protist, moneran have some organisms that are one-celled.
* Kingdoms such as plant, protist, moneran have some organisms that can make their own food.
* Kingdoms such as animal, fungi, protist, moneran have some organisms that use other organisms for food.

Front 4

Classifying - Past and Present (part 1):

Back 4

* 350 B.C. ARISTOTLE invents a system that places living things in 2 groups.
* 1750's CAROLUS LINNAEUS (the father of Modern Classification), develops a system for naming organisms.
* 1812 GEORGE CUVIER classifies everything that can move from place to place in animal kingdom.
* 1959 ROBERT WHITTAKER introduces the 5 kingdom classification system.
* 1960s LEON RODDY classifies more than 6,000 spiders and becomes a world expert on this group.

Front 26

Variety of Life on Earth:

Back 26

* Organisms are living things that exist on earth.
* YOU are a living organism.
* Scientists CLASSIFY (group) all living things into 5 large groups called KINGDOMS.
* Organisms placed in the same kingdom share or have certain TRAITS that organisms in that same kingdom have.

Back 28

animals share characteristics in the same kingdom.

Front 29

Kingdoms of Living Things:

Kingdoms such as animal, fungi, protist, moneran have some organisms that have structures to allow them to move from place to place.
* Kingdoms such as fungi, protist, moneran have some organisms that are one-celled.
* Kingdoms such as plant, protist, moneran have some organisms that can make their own food.
* Kingdoms such as animal, fungi, protist, moneran have some organisms that use other organisms for food.

Classification of Animals:

Back 30

* vertebra is an individual bone that makes up the backbone.
* vertebrates are animals that have backbones (spines).
* all vertebrates have 1 thing in common - they all have a backbone.
