The document discusses life on Earth and the biosphere. It explains that the biosphere includes the hydrosphere, lithosphere, and atmosphere. It also describes the abiotic and biotic factors that make up the biosphere. It then covers the basic life cycle of birth, adolescence, adult, reproduction. It defines important life functions like nutrition, adaptation, and reproduction. It also discusses ecosystems as a community of living and nonliving things and their habitats. Finally, it outlines the five kingdoms of living organisms - Monera, Protists, Fungi, Plants, and Animals.

1. LIFE ON EARTH!

2. http://www.gamequarium.org/cgi-bin/search/linfo.cgi?id=7698

3. Biosphere ! LIFE on Earth= THE BIOSPHERE! Biosphere includes: Hydrosphere Lithosphere Atmosphere

4. Challenge ! What does a biosphere include? The hydrosphere, lithosphere, and atmosphere.

5. Biosphere ! Abiotic Factors Nonliving elements in the biosphere Ex.) Water, atmospheric gases, rocks, snow, etc. Biotic Factors Living elements Ex.) Plants, animals, bacteria, etc.

6. Challenge !

7. The Life Cycle ! BABY ADOLESCENT BIRTH ADULT REPRODUCTION

8. The Life Cycle ! Important Note! Not ALL living things have the same life cycle!!

9. Challenge ! What are the steps of the life cycle? Birth, adolescent, adult, reproduction, starts over.

10. Challenge ! What are the steps of the life cycle? Birth, adolescent, adult, reproduction, starts over.

11. Important Life Functions ! 1.) Nutrition - Having the necessary food to help grow and do activities. 2.) Adaptation - Being able to adapt to the environment for survival. 3.) Reproduction - Creation of new life to continue existence

12. Challenge !

13. Ecosystems ! Biotic and abiotic factors combine to make ecosystems. Ecosystem : community of living and nonliving things and their habitats .

14. Ecosystems ! Habitats Places where animals & plants live together naturally. Includes water, air, sunlight, temperature Ex.) Savannas, forests, ocean, lakes, etc.

15. ECOSYSTEM! Community Habitat Living & Non-living things, Animals, Plants Water, Air, Sunlight Temperature

16. Community Giraffes, elephants, zebra, rhinocerous, lions, antelope, birds Trees, grass, hay Habitat A little bit of water Sunny Most likely warm temperature

17. Challenge !

18. 5 Animal Kingdoms ! 5 Animal Kingdoms Moneran Protist Fungus Plant Animal

19. 1. Monera Kingdom ! One cell No nucleus Ex.) Bacteria

20. 2. Protist Kingdom ! One cell Has a nucleus Ex.) Algae, amoeba

21. 3. Fungi Kingdom ! A lot of cells Cannot move Absorb nutrients from other things Ex.) Mushrooms, mold

22. 4. Plant Kingdom ! A lot of cells Cannot move Use energy from the sun to make sugars Ex.) Trees, flowers, grass, etc.

23. 5. Animal Kingdom ! A lot of cells Can move Get energy by eating other living things Ex.) Fish, birds, animals

24. 5 Kingdoms ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uJ8QeFRvJA

25. Challenge ! Which is a picture of a protist? Describe the 2 characteristics of Protist Kingdom. It is one cell and has a nucleus.

26. Challenge ! Which is a picture of a fungi? Describe the 3 characteristics of the Fungi Kingdom. It is a lot of cells, cannot move, and absorbs the nutrients from other things.

27. Challenge ! What are the 5 ANIMAL KINGDOMS ? Monera Protist Fungi Plants Animals

28. Organisms Animals Plants Monera Protists Fungi Jellyfish, worms, arthropods, molluscs, echinoderms, amphibians, fish, reptiles, birds and mammals. Seed bearing plants and non-seed bearing plants Bacteria, single-cell Single-cell, has a nucleus, algae Molds, mushrooms

29. Animals ! Animals Vertebrates Invertebrates

30. Animals: Vertebrates ! Vertebrates Have a spinal column “ Back-bone” Have nerves along their back **5 CLASSES OF VERTEBRATES**

31. Vertebrates: 1.Mammals ! Mammals Have body hair or fur Produce milk Warm-blooded Give birth to live young

32. Vertebrates: 2. Fish ! Fish Live in water Have scales/fins Breathe with gills Kind of like noses throughout their body Boney-skeleton Cold-blooded Lay eggs

33. Vertebrates: 3. Reptiles ! Reptiles Dry, scaly skin Breathe with lungs Cold-blooded Lay eggs

34. Vertebrates: 4. Amphibians ! Amphibians Moist skin Larvae (babies) have gills & live in water Adults have lungs & live on land Cold-blooded Lay eggs in water Webbed feet

35. Vertebrates: 5. Birds ! Birds Feathers & wings Breathe with lungs Warm-blooded Lay eggs with hards shells
