Why do scientists use
classification?
Classifying living organisms makes
sharing and finding information easier.
What are some
ways that
organisms can
be classified?
They could be classified by
how they move, look, live,
eat, grow or change.
If we are looking to
classify animals into
two groups by how
they move, how
could we do that?
Vertebrates and
invertebrates
What is the difference
between vertebrates
and invertebrates?
Which group is larger?
Vertebrates have a
backbone and
invertebrates don’t.
There are a lot more
invertebrates than
vertebrates.
What are the five
phyla or groups that
vertebrates are
divided into?
Vertebrates are
divided into
mammals, birds,
reptiles, amphibians,
and fish.
Name two
examples of
mammals-what do
they all have in
common?
Examples may vary.
All mammals have
hair and produce
milk for their young.
Name two
examples of
birds-what do
they have in
common?
Examples may
vary, but all birds
have feathers and
most fly.
Name two examples
of reptiles-what do
they all have in
common?
Examples may vary, but
all reptiles have scaly
skin and most lay their
eggs on land.
Name two
examples of
amphibianswhat do they all
have in
common?
Examples may vary,
but they all start
their lives in water
and end their lives
on land.
Name two
examples of fishwhat do they all
have in common?
Examples may vary, but
they all have scales and
live their lives in water.
What are the two groups
that plants are classified
into?
Nonvascular and
vascular
What is the difference
between vascular and
nonvascular plants?
Nonvascular plants don’t
have true roots,
but vascular plants have
tissue that support the
plant by carrying food
water.
What is one example
of a nonvascular
plant?
Moss is a
nonvascular
plant.
How do nonvascular
plants get their food?
Nonvascular plants
get their nutrients
and water by absorbing
it from their
surroundings.
Give me two examples
of vascular plants.
Cacti and trees are
both vascular plants.
What is an inherited
trait?
An inherited trait is a
characteristic that is
passed from parents
to their offspring.
What are three
examples of
inherited traits?
Inherited traits
include hair color,
eye color, skin color,
freckles, or right vs.
left handedness.
What is a learned
behavior?
A learned behavior is a
behavior that is
acquired through
experience.
What are two examples
of learned behaviors
in animals?
Examples will vary.
What are two
examples of
learned behaviors
in humans?
Examples will vary.
What is a
gene?
A gene is the part of
a chromosome that
contains the DNA code
for an inherited trait.
What controls the
inherited traits
in humans?
Inherited traits are
controlled by your
genes.
We are all genetically
unique unless…
You have an
identical twin.
What is the difference
between an inherited trait and
a learned trait?
An inherited trait is
passed to you in your
genes and a learned
trait you get through
life experience.
Give two examples of how
environment can influence
behavior.
Examples will vary.
