6 Kingdoms of Classification Foldable: 300 points
To make the foldable, fold 4 sheets of paper to create the 8 tabs shown below. Use the chapters and the
appendix section on classification in your textbook, your note-taking handouts, and other reference books
at home or in the library, and/or the internet, etc. for sources. If you don’t have access to the other
resources mentioned, you should find all the necessary information in your textbook and notes.
Must be neat, accurate, and colorful (Neatness, tabs, color=20 points)
For each Kingdom you must include the following, or as modified on the tabs:
o Define each Kingdom in general terms– this info. is separate from the “characteristics”. (10 points)
o List the major characteristics of organisms in that kingdom. (Minimum= 5 characteristics)
(Examples may include categories such as: Body plans, reproduction methods, unique cellular structures,
how they obtain food/energy, means of movement, or whatever is “unique” to this Kingdom that
separates it from other kingdoms.) (18 points)
o List 2 organisms or as indicated in each kingdom and draw or paste a picture of each.
See tabs below for the minimum number of examples, and other details.
(Examples=6 pts, pictures =6 points)
6 Kingdoms of Classification
#
Name
Date
Period
ARCHAEA
(Define, (archaebacteria), List 5 characteristics, 1 example
Hint: check the phyla sections in the appendix and indicate how they make food.)
EUBACTERIA
(Define bacteria, (eu=means true); List 5 characteristics, list and 2 or more examples, ex. E. coli or salmonella)
PROTISTS
Define each category: plant-like, animal-like, fungus-like protists.
list 2 facts for each, then list & draw at least one example of each type.
FUNGI
(Define, List 5 characteristics, List 3 and draw/paste or more examples)
PLANTS
(Part 1) Define words: Bryophytes (vascular plants) vs Tracheophytes (vascular plants)
Under each type, list 3 facts and 2 examples with a picture
(Part II.=write) “2 Subcategories of Tracheophytes= Angiosperms vs Gymnosperms”
Define both types, then list 3 facts, and 2 examples with a picture
ANIMALS
Define invertebrates and vertebrates
give 2 examples & picture of EACH type
5 KINGDOM VS 6 KINGDOM CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM
(1. Explain in detail why scientists divided the Monera Kingdom into the two separate
Kingdoms, including the major differences of their cell wall makeup, RNA, etc.
2. Draw a picture illustrating the new 6 kingdom vs the old 5 kingdom systems)
