How are living things similar and different

1. How are living
things the same and
different?
Chapter 1: Lesson 2
Grade 5

2. Classification of Living
Things

3. What is classification?
It is the grouping of living
organisms according to
similar characteristics.

5. The modern classification
system was developed by:
Linnaeus

6. Classify the handed
objects into 2 groups
Objects you
can use
Objects you
cannot use

7. Classify the objects
into smaller subgroups
Objects you
can use
… at home
… in the
kitchen
… made of
plastic
… holds
liquids

8. Where do you live?
 Country
 City
 Area / District
 Street
 Building
 Floor
 Apartment

9. The modern classification
method consists of 7 levels:
 Kingdom
 Phylum
 Class
 Order
 Family
 Genus
 Species

10. Helpful way to remember the 7 levels

88. Let’s solve some puzzles

89. I LIVE IN THE SEA ALL MY LIFE BUT I DON’T
HAVE GILLS TO BREATHE. I HAVE LUNGS SO I
MUST COME TO THE SURFACE OF THE SEA TO
BREATHE. I FEED MY YOUNG MILK. WHO AM I
? WHICH GROUP DO I BELONG TO?
Whales Mammal

91. I LIVE IN THE SEA FOR HALF MY LIFE AND CAN
DIVE HALF A KILOMETRE UNDER THE SEA,
BUT I DO NOT HAVE GILLS TO BREATHE. I
HAVE LUNGS SO I MUST COME TO THE
SURFACE TO BREATHE. I LAY EGGS AND HAVE
FEATHERS. WHO AM I ? WHICH GROUP DO I
BELONG TO?
Penguins Birds

92. I HAVE WINGS, I CAN FLY VERY FAST TO
CATCH INSECTS BUT I HAVE FUR. MY YOUNG
ARE BORN LIVE AND I FEED THEM MILK. WHO
AM I ? WHICH GROUP DO I BELONG TO?

93. The Animal kingdom is divided
into 2 groups.

backbone

fish

95. Invertebrates also include:

96. Plant kingdom can be
classified as:
Vascular
plants
Non-Vascular
plants

97. Vascular plants
Have tubes or vessels
Transports food Transports water

98. Vessels

99. Giant redwood trees.

100. Cactus.

101. Orchids

102. Non- Vascular
plants
(without vessels)
Non vascular plants grow close to the
ground to absorb water

103. Non-vascular plants
- They don’t have real roots. (They just look like roots)
- They have parts that look like stems but they are not real
stems.
- They have leaf like structures, but they are not real leaves.
The leaves, stems and roots are not real BECAUSE:
They do not have VESSELS.

104. When non-vascular plants
are dry they look like:
Dry sponge
Non-vascular plants are
absorb water like:
sponges
