  1. Classification of Organisms Kingdom Animalia adapted from http://gideon.k12.mo.us/teachers/jswilley/htdocs/Classification%20of%20Animals.ppt

  2. Scientific Taxa Kings Play Chess On Fine Grain Sand As you move down the list, the categories become more and more specific. Ex. Kingdoms: Plant, Animal, Protist etc Species:Southern Leopard Frog, Honey Mushroom, or White Oak • Kingdom • Phylum • Class • Order • Family • Genus • Species adapted from http://gideon.k12.mo.us/teachers/jswilley/htdocs/Classification%20of%20Animals.ppt

  3. Two Phyla of Animals • Vertebrates and Invertebrates

  4. DO NOW • What phylum would you classify an octopus in? • What is a 2 physical characteristics of an arthropod? • Ornithorhynchus anatinus is the scientific name of a duck billed platypus • What is the genus? • What is the species?

  5. Vertebrates Susan B. Anthony Middle School 7th Grade Life Science Mr. Pezzuto

  6. Animals With Backbones- Chordates(Phylum Chordata) AMPHIBIAN Fish Mammal BIRD Reptile

  7. Animals With Backbones • Vertebrates- have a backbone. • phylum chordata. • Vertebrates include many different kinds of animals and are found just about everywhere • – in oceans, rivers, forests, mountains, and deserts. • Only 5% of the kinds of animals on earth are chordates.

  8. Fish

  9. Fish Characteristics • Largest group of vertebrates. • Many fish are covered with scales that protects them. • Have fins for steering and balance in the water. • They breathe through gills. • Ectotherm- means “outside temperature”. Means Cold blooded, their body temp is regulated by the temp of the water.

  10. Amphibians

  11. Amphibian Characteristics • Their body temperature varies with their surroundings. Ectotherm- means cold blooded. • Amphibians hatch from eggs and they can live on land as an adult. • Young amphibians breathe through gills like fish. • Adult amphibians breathe air from lungs.

  12. Amphibian Characteristics • This process of change from baby to adult is called a metamorphosis. • Some have smooth moist skin. • Examples- Frog, toad, newt, salamander. adapted from http://gideon.k12.mo.us/teachers/jswilley/htdocs/Classification%20of%20Animals.ppt

  13. Reptiles

  14. Reptile Characteristics • They lay eggs on land and undergo no metamorphosis. • They have dry scaly skin. • They can include animals as large as a crocodile and as small as a gecko. • Ectothermic. • They live in hot, dry deserts and in warm, wet tropical rain forests. • Examples- turtles, snakes, iguanas, lizards.

  15. DO NOW • List three defining characteristics of fish. • Define metamorphosis • “middle change” • List three defining characteristics of reptiles. • What does arthropod translate into?

  16. Birds

  17. Bird Characteristics • Have wings, beaks, 2 legs and feathers. Only birds have feathers. • Endotherms- “inside temp” body regulates temperature. • There are about 9,000 types of birds. • The bird’s skeleton is very light in weight. Bones are hollow! This helps them to fly. • Examples- flamingo, eagle, sparrow, crow, owl, hawk.

  18. Mammals

  19. Mammal Characteristics • Humans are mammals. • Their young grows inside the mother – give birth to live young • They feed milk to their young. • Hair is an adaptation that keeps mammals warm. • They are endotherms- maintain a constant body temperature. -ape, lions, kangaroos, bats, and your mom.

  20. Ticket to Leave • On a sheet of lined paper, Write down the difference between a endotherm and an ectotherm. • Similarities and difference between anphibians and reptiles. • Also, write the names of the scientific taxonomic levels in order. • (remember Kings play chess…) adapted from http://gideon.k12.mo.us/teachers/jswilley/htdocs/Classification%20of%20Animals.ppt

  21. Tuesday • Make a small informational poster about a Class of Vertebrate. • You may draw pictures if you'd like • You may use outside research but make sure you know where you got your information. adapted from http://gideon.k12.mo.us/teachers/jswilley/htdocs/Classification%20of%20Animals.ppt

  22. (P6) • Molluska • Arthropod • Reptile • Binomial Nomenclature • Species • Mutlicellular • Birds • Tapeworm
