Six Kingdoms






Archaebacteria
Eubacteria
Protists
Fungi
Plants
Animals
Archaebacteria



Oldest form of life
Singe cell organism (unicellular)
Found in extreme environments
– Geysers
– Hotsprings
– Volcanic ocean vents
Eubacteria



Second oldest form of life
Single cell organism (unicellular)
Most familiar bacteria
– Streptococcus
– Lactobacillus
– Staphylococcus
Protists




“Misfits” kingdom
All microscopic organisms that are not
plants, not animal, not bacteria, and
not fungi.
Single cell organism (unicellular)
Protozoa, Amoeba
Fungi




Most are multi-cellular organism
Mold, mildew, mushrooms
Some are very important to
ecosystems or as food.
Some cause diseases – ringworm, and
athlete’s foot
Plants




Second largest kingdom
Multi-cellular organisms
Producers (make their own food)
Without plants life as we know it
would not exist.
Animals




Largest kingdom
Multi-cellular
Consumers – must eat for energy
Over 1 million known species
Activity: Foldable
Divide a sheet of notebook paper into 6 equal
sections
wide ruled: 4-5 lines each
college ruled: 5-6 lines each
Split each section into two parts and label the
sections “characteristics” and “examples”
The characteristics section will be larger
Activity: Foldable
Use another sheet of paper to cut out a
“cover flap” for each section
Staple each flap to cover up the
information sections underneath
Label one flap for each kingdom of life
Activity: Foldable
Now that your foldable is created, use
your notes and/or textbook to fill out all
the information in each section
This will be your study tool to help you
remember the six kingdoms of life
