ClassifyingOrganismsWhat are they? How are they alike?
What are organisms?
An organism is…….any living thing, such as a plant, animal, and even bacteria!
Click here for more info!
Humans are organisms!
What do you have to do to be an organism:
● eat● grow● respond to the environment● have offspring
How do we classify all things?
First, we begin with two main groups!Either you are living, or you’re not.If you are living, then you are an organism.
But, we divide those groups into groups based on their properties
How do we group parts of biomes?
Living and non-living factors Why makes up a prairie?
Living: Biotic Non-living: Abiotic
tall grasses dark soil
wildflowers small creeks
dragonflies, bees, mice, snakes open sky, changing seasons
How do we group plants?
Flowering and non-flowering!What kinds of plants flower?Do you eat the flowers of any plants?
Flowering Non-flowering
Let’s explore some more examples!
The World of Flowering Plants
How Plants Grow
How do we group plants?
What kinds of plants flower? See some samples!
Flowering Non-flowering
roses pin cone trees
fruits--apples, blueberries, pears, etc.
lichens and muchrooms
grasses moss
Create a T-chart and get ready!
Flowering Non-flowering
Put the following into 2 groups.
apples mushrooms green pepper grass
pine trees moss ferns dandelions
cucumber tomatoe lichens lettuce
carrots potatoes broccoli roses

What are conifers?
Let’s look and learn about pinecones. Pine trees and most Evergreens do not flower.

What are deciduous trees?
Maple trees and deciduous treesdecide to change their colors and drop their leaves!Click here to see more!
How do organisms respond?
Plants are organisms and they respond to the environment. Let’s learn about how they adapt, or change!Adaptations--generalPlant adaptations--carnivorousPlant adaptations--environment
Why do plants adapt? How?
Plants survive in different ways. Discuss how!1. Dry climate2. Harsh sun3. Limited sunlight4. Poor soil5. Flooding6. Invasive animals
Let’s review!
Take notes on VIP’s of this Study Jam and be prepared to take the quiz!
Plant Adaptations
What are organisms?
Organisms are biotic parts of a biome that are living.
How do we classify organisms?We classify organisms into groups based on their structure.
Pick a Biome! Now it’s YOUR turn.
1. Select an environment to research.2. Find at least 3 plants that are an important part of this biome.3. Select a photo of each. Classify its group.4. How does this plant adapt, or survive?5. What animals are use the plants? How?
Use this organizer to help you.Name of Biome:______________________

What are organisms?
Organisms are anything that are living.
How do we classify organisms?We classify organisms into groups based on their characteristics or structure.
Classify all animals into 2 groups!
Draw a t-chart and sort these!Add more to your list.

How can all vertebrates be grouped?
birds mammals fish reptiles amphibians
Let’s explore vertebrates!
