Ø Think of three examples where we group things. 1. Grocery store 2. Clothes in our drawers 3. Cabinets in our kitchen Ø Why do we group these things? To make life easier.

Why do we classify? Ø The grouping or sorting of things based on something (trait) that they have in common Ø Makes life or the studying of life easier Ø Used by all people, but especially by scientists when they want to learn about a group.

How do scientists classify? Ø Scientists classify to make things easier to study Ø They split all things (matter) into two groups-----living and non-living Ø http: //player. discoveryeducation. co m/index. cfm? guid. Asset.

What do all living things have in common? Ø Grow and change Ø Movement Ø Need for food, water, and air (use energy) Ø Reproduce (make more) Ø Respond to environment Ø Adapt (deal with) to their environment Ø Made up of cells

Classifying Living Things Ø We put all livings things into two large groups: ØAnimals ØPlants

Animals Ø Animals are spilt into two major groups: ØVertebrates ØInvertebrates http: //player. discoveryeducation. com/index. cfm? guid. Asset. Id= 3 DD 50 E 70 -F 970 -457 B-A 39 C-203 FA 8 F 18 A 01&bln. From. Search=1&productcode=US

Warm Vs. Cold Ø All animals are either warm or cold blooded http: //player. discoveryeducation. com/index. cfm? guid. Asset. Id=A 0 B 14564 -71944604 -92 C 9 -4 DE 24 FD 40 D 6 A&bln. From. Search=1&productcode=US Ø Warm blooded- keeping a constant body temperature and adapting (doing something to deal with) the outside temperature Ex: shed, put on a coatmammals and birds Ø Cold blooded- move from place to change or adjust body temperaturefish, reptiles, amphibians

Birds http: //player. discoveryeducation. com/index. cfm? guid. Asset. Id=239 BE 623 -7 C 44 -4 FC 9 -AC 0 B 87 D 06 A 4 B 88 C 7&bln. From. Search=1&productcode=US Ø Have feathers, wings and hollow bones Ø Lay hard shelled eggs Ø Warm blooded Ø Breathes with lungs

Mammals http: //player. discoveryeducation. com/index. cfm? guid. Asset. Id=239 BE 623 -7 C 44 -4 FC 9 -AC 0 B 87 D 06 A 4 B 88 C 7&bln. From. Search=1&productcode=US Ø Have hair and produce milk Ø Most are born alive and can not take care of themselves Ø Warm blooded Ø Breathes with lungs

3 Kinds of Mammals 1. Monotremes- mammals that lay eggs - Ex: platypus 2. Marsupial- give birth to undeveloped babies that continue to develop in a pouch- Ex: kangaroo 3. Placental- develops inside its mother’s body until its body systems can function on their own- Ex: humans

Reptiles http: //player. discoveryeducation. com/index. cfm? guid. Asset. Id=239 BE 623 -7 C 444 FC 9 -AC 0 B-87 D 06 A 4 B 88 C 7&bln. From. Search=1&productcode=US Ø Have dry scales Ø Lay leathery shelled eggs Ø Cold blooded Ø Breathe with lungs

Summary of Vertebrates

Invertebrates Ø These are animals without a backbone or brain.
