Classification
Scientists sort things by the characteristics they
have in common. Why?
Well, why do YOU sort things? …to keep them
organized….so you can find them.
Scientists do the same thing: this organizes
them and makes them easier to study!

Scientific Classification: 1 = most general to 7 = most specific
For example, clothes aren’t a real
scientific Kingdom, but if they were, you
might sort them something like this…
1. Kingdom
2. Phylum
3. Class
4. Order
5. Family
6. Genus
7. Species
 Clothes
 Footwear
 Underclothes
 Socks
 Athletic Socks
 Low Rise Athletic Socks
 YBrand® 100% Cotton Crew

….now you’re singing the Classification Conga!

Kingdoms: at the Top!
Living things are classified into 6 Kingdoms, or main groups.
The first two are Archaebacteria (an unusual group mostly found
in really hot places where nothing much else can really live, like
volcanoes and hot springs) and Eubacteria (which includes most
of today's bacteria).
In this session we are only going to talk more about these four:
Animals
Protists
Plants
Fungi

Animals
They are generally multicellular (they have many
cells) meaning they can usually be seen without
a microscope.
Animals are capable of locomotion (moving
themselves from place to place).
Animals are responsive to their environment,
and get food (energy and nutrients) by eating
other organisms
(they are called “heterotrophic”).

Sea Anemone looks like a plant but it’s an animal with “feet” not roots that
keep it attached to the rock. It actually eats fish and other seafood!

Plants
Plants are non-locomotive (they can’t move
themselves from one place to another).
They stay “planted” right where they are!
Plants are mostly “autotrophs,” that is,
organisms make their own food.
Most plants do this by a process called photosynthesis, which
occurs inside the cells of plants.
They get energy from sunlight and change it into energy they can
use to grow and reproduce.
While they get energy (calories) from the sun,
most plants get nutrients from the air and soil.
However, a few plants get nutrients from eating bugs!

Some algae are microscopic
but they are still in the
plant kingdom!

Fungi
These organisms digest their food externally
(outside their bodies) and absorb it into their
cells.
Along with bacteria, fungi are the primary
decomposers (breaker-downers) of dead
organic matter.
Many fungi have important symbiotic
relationships with other organisms (they
depend on each other for life).

Protists
A group of organisms, comprising those that are not
animals, plants, or fungi.
They often contain few, or only one cell and include tiny
things like amoebas, bacteria and viruses.
The protists do not even have much in common with each
other besides that they are all relatively simple organisms.
Some call the protists the "left-overs" from
the other kingdoms.

Things can live ON you,
…or IN you!
– Fungus: Some fungus causes athlete’s foot.
Fungus can also make your feet stink!
– Bacteria: Some bacteria live in your mouth and
eat the food that is left behind when you eat. This
causes halitosis, or bad breath.
So….it is important to brush, floss and see your
dentist for healthy teeth and gums!

“Liz Taylor” on Dandruff
Dandruff is not a disease, but scientists aren’t quite
sure why it happens!
Scalp flakes (dead skin cells clumped together with
scalp oils) could be due to hair products, diet, or
even a fungus that feeds on your hair oils. Gross!

Critters!
Demodex Folliculorum
Eyelash Mites:
If they didn’t eat the oils
around your eyelashes,
you would get eyelash
dandruff! They don’t
poop, though. Whew!
Too many? Your
eyelashes can fall out!
“SYMBIOSIS”
Some living creatures
depend on other living
creatures to survive.
(Think of the live bacteria
we need in our colons!)

More Critters!
• Head Lice
– Lice are little bugs that live in your hair. They are related
to spiders.
– Anyone can get lice. They need to be moved, so never
share what touches your hair!
– Tell a grown up if you think you have lice.
• Tapeworms
– Tapeworms live in your intestines.
– You get them from eating raw meat or dirty food.
– They can grow up to 30 feet long!

Pieces and Parts
Other things that can live on you are viruses.
Viruses can cause warts.
Warts are contagious, meaning you can give them to
other people, so make sure you wash your hands often
to prevent sharing your warts!

Pieces and Parts
Pinkeye is something else that is
contagious (you can give it to others)
– Pinkeye is caused by a bacteria, or a virus.
– You get pinkeye when someone who has it
spreads the germs to you.
– Always wash your hands.

Bugs can spread disease.
If you get bitten, make sure to tell an adult
…and keep the area clean.
