First Five
• Silently in your notebook answer the following.
• You are asked to observe the local animal and fauna
(plant life) of Arizona for your biology class. You
observe several cacti and animals, but are unsure their
common name. Ms. Tompkins has requested that you
provide their binomial name, as well as their kingdom,
phylum, class, order, family, genus and species.
• How do you think you can determine the common name of
an animal/plant?
• How do you think that you can determine the required
classifications?
Announcements
• Past Due: Lizard Homework
• Due Today M3: Kingdom’s Classification
• All other classes HW: Kingdom’s Classification
• Quiz on Monday:
• You will be allowed a normal sized index card (is worth 1 ec) both
sides can be written on
• Will cover material from egg hatching to today
• Due to some complications please tell me in advance when
you plan on staying in the afternoon so I can accommodate.
• Check you own grades on powerschool, I will no longer check
your grades for you.
Phylum
Arthropods
• Several pairs of jointed legs
• Exoskeleton that is waterproof
• More arthropods than all other
kinds of animals
• Include:
•
•
•
•
Insects
Crustaceans
Arachnids
Myriapods
Insects
• Successful due to their
exoskeleton and trachea:
both aid in stopping water
from evaporating from the
body
• Arthropods with three
pairs of jointed legs
• Two pairs of wings (one or
both may be vestigial)
• Breathe through the
trachea
• Body divided into head,
thorax and abdomen
Crustaceans
•
•
•
•
Arthropods with more than four pairs of jointed legs
Not millipedes or centipedes
Breathe through gills
Mostly aquatic
Arachnids
• Live on Land
• Arthropods with four pairs of
jointed legs
• Breathe through gills called
book lungs
Myriapods
• Centipedes and millipedes
• Body contains many
segments
• Each segment has a jointed
leg
Let’s Talk about Plants
• Made up of cells that have a cell wall made from cellulose
• Green color is caused by a pigment named chlorophyll that is
inside the cell and absorbs energy from the sun
• There are roughly three different types
Ferns
•
•
•
•
Plants with roots, stems and leaves
Have leaves called fronds
Do not produce flowers
Reproduce by spores
Flowering plants
• Plants with roots,
stem and leaves
• Reproduce sexually
by means of flowers
and seeds
• Seeds are produced
inside the ovary of
the flower
• Divided into two groups
• Monocotyledonous plants
(Monocots)
• only one cotyledon in
their seeds
• branching root system
• veins run parallel in leaves
• Dicotyledonous plants
(Dicots)
• Have two cotyledon in
their seeds
• Tap root system
• Broader leaves
• Branching veins in leaves.
Viruses
• Not considered alive since they can’t do anything but exist
• Once inside a host, viruses will take over and produce multiple
copies
• On their own viruses can’t show any characteristics of life
• Viruses have a protein coat
Dichotomous Keys
• Read along as I read out loud.
Let’s Try the Keys Out
Poster Time
• Each group will be assigned a kingdom.
• From their assigned kingdom they should choose a species
and show the break down from Kingdom to species (KPCOFGS)
• They should also create a dichotomous key
• We will spend the last 20 minutes of class presenting the
posters.
Work on your interactive
notebook
• Remember on you left side you should have one or more of
the following.:
• Graphic Organizers
• Drawings/Illustrations
• Cartoons/Comics
• Lab Analysis
• Venn diagrams
• Foldables
Exit Ticket
• Write me 1 or more questions (with the correct answer) based
on what we learned today.
