Bio 9C: Monday, 9.13.10Title: Characteristics of Living Things
Do Now:
Make a list of 6 things that make something alive (take you list of 4 and expand on it by 2).
Homework: Complete your guided reading of section 1.3 if you were unable to
complete it in class. If you completed it in class, re-read the section so that you are more
familiar with the content. Try to employ a reading strategy that is new to you.
Objectives for Class
1. List 6 of 8 characteristics that all living things share. 2. Identify and use the effective reading strategies you
learned in Middle School to read and understand difficult science text.
Characterizing Life Activity Reading for Understanding – Section 1.3 in text book (pgs. 16-21)
Agenda
Characterizing Life
Small group activity: Turn your desks to make groups of 4 (Mr.
Moretti will direct this). One person should volunteer as the group
scribe As a group develop a list of 5
characteristics that you think all living things have.
We will discuss this as a class.
Objectives for Class:• List 6 of 8 characteristics that all living things share

Characterizing Life Wrap-up
Objectives for Class:• List 6 of 8 characteristics that all living things share
All Living Things… are made up of cells
(one cell = unicellular / many cells = multicellular) reproduce
(on their own = asexual / with another parent = sexual)have a genetic code (DNA) with instructions for growing and reproducinggrow and developuse energy and materialsrespond to their environment control the conditions inside their bodies (maintain
homeostasis)groups of living things adapt/evolve/change over time.

Agenda
Two Main Cell Types
Eukaryotic(eu = true; karyote = kernel/nucleus) Cells that have a nucleus in which their DNA/
chromosomes are stored Cells that are larger and more complex
Prokaryotic(pro = before; karyote = kernel/nucleus) Cells that don’t store their DNA/chromosomes
in a nucleus (it’s just floating in the cell) Cells that are smaller and simpler
Objectives for Class:Distinguish between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells
White Blood Cell w/ Cocci (bacteria)
Epithelial Cells w/ Bacilli (bacteria)

to me and compiled in the ppt. file), each group will present their work to the class.
Bio 9C: Friday, 9.17.10 Title: Organizing the Classification Schemes
Do Now: Based on last night’s reading:
Which domain or kingdom do you understand the best? Which domain or kingdom did you find most confusing? What is one thing you hope to learn from the other groups’ presentations
today?
Homework: Pass last night’s homework to the left Reflection: Classifying Life (see back of assignment sheet for details)
Objectives for Class1. Identify two defining characteristics of each kingdom and
domain2. Use evidence and reasoning to hypothesize about relationships
between the domains and kingdoms.3. Draw a “Tree of Life” showing the relationships between
domains and kingdoms
Classification of Life Jigsaw: Building Phylogenetic Trees
Agenda
Example Tree Diagram
Objectives for Class:1.Use evidence and reasoning to hypothesize about relationships between the
domains and kingdoms.2.Draw a “Tree of Life” showing the relationships between domains and
kingdoms
Domains and Kingdoms Jigsaw Develop groups so that each group has a
representative from each Domain/ Kingdom team (i.e.: each group has 1 Protista, 1 Archaea, 1 Bacteria, 1 Animalia, 1 Plantae and 1 Fungi)
As a “super group”, create a tree diagram that organizes the domains and kingdoms so that those are the closest “relatives” are closest to each other.
Draw your tree diagrams on chart paper and elect 2 students from the super group to explain your classification system to the class.
Objectives for Class:1.Use evidence and reasoning to hypothesize about relationships between the

Homework: 1. Study for the Quiz on Wednesday. Review guide is on
the back of the Assignment Sheet
Do Now: What do you remember about Euglena? pssst…
you may have to go back to your notes to refresh your memory… wink, wink ;-)

of each kingdom and domain.
2. Compare and contrast the major Domains and Kingdoms of Life.
MCAS Open Response Practice: Classifying Euglena
Agenda
Another Look at Euglena
A few notes on Euglena:1. It has a nucleus2. It is a single-celled organism3. It does NOT have a cell wall4. The green spots are
chloroplasts 5. It can both
• produce food through photosynthesis like a plant does (autotroph)
• Eat other organisms for food like an animal does (heterotroph)
Open Response Practice: Classifying EuglenaClass Objectives: Compare and contrast the major Domains and
Kingdoms of Life Classify organisms into the major Domains and
Kingdoms of Life Think, Pair, Share
Think: Would you classify this as a
prokaryote or eukaryote? Why?
Based on the classification scheme we are using, into which Domain and Kingdom would you classify Euglena?
Use 3 specific characteristics of the Domain and Kingdom to explain your reasoning for putting Euglena into those categories.
Pair: Peer Correcting
Share: Class Discussion
Objectives for Class:1. Identify and explain two defining characteristics of each kingdom and domain.2. Compare and contrast the major Domains and Kingdoms of Life.
Quiz Review Sheet
What are two defining features of each of the following domains/kingdoms?
Domain BacteriaDomain ArchaeaDomain EukaryaKingdom ProtistaKingdom FungiKingdom PlantaeKingdom Animalia
Compare and contrast: what are the similarities and differences between… Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells? Any two of the domains/kingdoms listed above (pick two from the list
and try to compare/contrast them)? Plant and Animal Cells?
Identify six of the eight characteristics of living things and explain how they are used to determine if something is alive.
