The student knows all organisms are classified into Domains and
Kingdoms. Organisms within these taxonomic groups share similar
characteristics which allow them to interact with the living and
nonliving parts of their ecosystem. The student is expected to:
C
recognize that the broadest taxonomic classification of living
organisms is divided into currently recognized Domains;
Learning Goal:
I can Use basic characteristics of organisms to classify them into Kingdoms.
I can Use the kingdom of an organism to identify basic characteristics.
Warm up / Hook:
 Given a picture of the teacher and choices, students can identify
the following characteristics of the teacher– eukaryotic, multicellular, heterotrophic and reproduces sexually.
Sequence of Learning Activities:
 Read the background information provided in Six Kingdoms
o Create a tree map in ISN from the reading
 Sorting
o Given 10 cards with pictures with basic characteristics
student groups sort them into the Kingdoms using their
Tree Map.
o Given 6 cards with pictures and no characteristics,
students sort into the Kingdoms using their Tree Map.
Check for Understanding:

Give a new example for each of the Kingdoms.

The student knows all organisms are classified into Domains and
Kingdoms. Organisms within these taxonomic groups share similar
characteristics which allow them to interact with the living and
nonliving parts of their ecosystem. The student is expected to:
d
identify the basic characteristics of organisms, including prokaryotic
or eukaryotic, unicellular or multicellular, autotrophic or
heterotrophic, and mode of reproduction, that further classify them
in the currently recognized Kingdoms
Learning Goal:
I can Show mastery of vocabulary -organism, unicellular,
multicellular, prokaryotic, eukaryotic, autotroph,
heterotroph, asexual reproduction, sexual reproduction.

The student knows all organisms are classified into Domains and
Kingdoms. Organisms within these taxonomic groups share similar
characteristics which allow them to interact with the living and
nonliving parts of their ecosystem. The student is expected to:
a
understand that all organisms are composed of one or more cells;
b
recognize that the presence of a nucleus determines whether a cell is
prokaryotic or eukaryotic;
c
recognize that the broadest taxonomic classification of living
organisms is divided into currently recognized Domains;
d
identify the basic characteristics of organisms, including prokaryotic
or eukaryotic, unicellular or multicellular, autotrophic or
heterotrophic, and mode of reproduction, that further classify them
in the currently recognized Kingdoms
Learning Goal:
I can Show mastery of classifying organisms into
kingdoms based on characteristics.
I can Show mastery of the vocabulary associated with
taxonomy.
Warm up / Hook:
 Look at the pictures on the screen, write down which kingdom
each picture belongs to.
Sequence of Learning Activities:
 Review for Taxonomy Test
 Draw Taxonomy Pyramid for review
 Taxonomy Memory Game
