Biology Comparing Living Things: The Six Kingdoms

1
BiologyComparing Living ThingsThe Six Kingdoms

• SB3 Students will derive the relationship
  between single-celled and multi-celled organisms
  and the increasing complexity of systems.
• b.Compare how structures and function vary
  between the six kingdoms (archaebacteria,
  eubacteria, protists, fungi, plants, and animals)
  Note For the Access Course the focus will be on
  3 kingdoms fungi, plants, and animals
• By
• Janice Pickett, Bibb County Schools
• With assistance from Juanita Pritchard, Cobb

Directions

1. Students watch and discuss power point with
   teacher.
2. Teacher could make copies of power point for
   higher functioning students to use as a text.
3. After watching and reviewing power point,
   students sort pictures into categories (Animal,
   Plant, Fungi).
4. Students answer questions about animals, plants,
   and fungi.

3
Scientists believe that there are many different
kinds of life forms on Earth
4
Scientists put living things into groups, based
on how they are the same, and how they are
different.
5

• A long time ago a scientist named Linnaeus
  developed a way to sort living things into 2
  categories.

6
Linnaeus classified all living things as either
plants or animals.
7
When the microscope was invented they found some
things that were alive that could not be seen
without a microscope.
8
Scientists have a way to classify or sort all
living things.
9
We will look at the first threekingdoms
plants, animals, and fungi.
PLANTS
ANIMALS
FUNGI
10
There are many different kinds of animals.
11
The Animal Kingdom

• Each organism is made up of many cells.
• The cells do not have a cell wall.
• They eat other organisms to get food.

12
There are many different kinds of plants.
13
The Plant Kingdom

1. Plant cells have a cell wall.
2. Plants make their own food through
   photosynthesis.
3. Most plants have roots, stems, leaves, and seed.

14
FUNGI
There are many different kinds of fungus.
15
The Fungus Kingdom

1. They are made of many cells.
2. They can not move or make their own food.
3. They secrete chemicals.

16
There are 7 things that all living things do.

1. Eat or take food for energy
2. Grow
3. Move
4. Breathe
5. Remove waste from body
6. React to changes around them
7. Reproduce

17
Activity

• Look at the next pages and compare how animals,
  plants, and fungi eat, breathe, move, and
  reproduce.

18
How do living things in each kingdom eat?
FUNGI
Through their roots and leaves
With their mouth
Absorb or soak it in
19
How do living things in each kingdom breathe?
FUNGI
With their nose or gills
Through their leaves
Through cell wall
oxygen
Carbon dioxide
20
How do living things in each kingdom reproduce?
FUNGI
seeds
Have babies eggs or live birth
Through spores
Adding cells to tip
bulbs
Special roots
21
How do living things in each kingdom move?
FUNGI
seeds
With legs
Through spores
swim
wind
absorbed
slither
fly
Toward light
22
If I eat with my mouth I am a

1. An animal
2. A plant
3. A fungus

23
If I reproduce by spores I am

1. A plant
2. A fungus
3. An animal

24
If I get food by my roots I am

1. An animal
2. A fungus
3. A plant

25
If I move by using legs I am

1. A fungi
2. An animal
3. A plant

26
If I breathe through leaves I am

1. A plant
2. An animal
3. A fungus

27
Print, cut apart, and laminate to use withpages
marked animals, plants, fungi.

Additional Activity

• Teacher may want to bring in a small animal
  (gerbil, mouse, bird, fish, or hermit crab), a
  green plant, and some moldy bread (place bread in
  large jar with screw top) for students to observe
  over a period of 1-2 weeks.
• Students can keep a chart or journal as to what
  they see about each and then class can discuss
  differences in animals, plants, and fungi.
