Classification
Distinguish between living and non-living things
Describe the life functions that organisms carry out
Task One
Write what these letters stand for
M: X
R: X
S: X
C: X
G: X
R: X
E: X
N: X
If living things perform these functions discuss whether fire, an egg, a shell and a wooden chair are alive or not?
Then Complete SciPad pages 111 and 112
Paste pictures of living, dead and non-living things here
X
Describe how the classification system works
Define a species and explain how a species is named
Reference SW9 Pg 81-85
Classification is the process of grouping all living things into categories based on their physical similarities and analysis of their DNA.
All living things can be subdivided into smaller and smaller groups ending in those called genus and species. Your teacher will explain to you which groups you belong to!
Task Two
Write a definition of species: X
Google and write the biological, binomial (genus and species) names for:
1. A polar bear: X
2. A lion: X
3. A kauri tree: X
4. A kiwi: X
5. The bacteria that causes acne: X
6. A humpback whale: X
Know that living things are classified into five kingdoms
Reference SW9 Pg 84-85
Task Three
List the Five kingdoms of Living Things:
X
Complete SciPad p.152
Task Four
At home Watch the Clickview in Science : “Classification Systems”… then
Research the Kingdom assigned to you in class and prepare a digital presentation of that Kingdom’s main features and examples for your class.
Place plants and animals in the correct groups
Describe functional and structural characteristics of the plant and animal kingdoms
Reference SW9 Pg 95-100
Task Five
The Animal and Plant Kingdoms are the most familiar to you. Each is divided into easily recognised groups which are well described in your textbook.
Choose and paste pictures of examples from each of the Plant and Animal Groups. State which groups they belong to and use their biological names.

Be able to use and interpret a key
Reference SW9 Pg 82-83
Task Six
Keys are guides to classifying organisms. Each one is a series of questions that lead you to a final answer. Try the “dichotomous keys” on this site.
