Title: The Six Kingdoms
1The Six Kingdoms
2- Scientist places all living things into one of
the six Kingdoms - They are in the Kingdom based on the
characteristics of the organism - The Kingdoms are Archaebacteria, Eubacteria,
Protista, Plant, Fungi, and Animals - Each organism in a KINGDOM is then placed in
subgroups within the KINGDOM based on
characteristics. The subgroups are phylum,
class, order, - family, genus, species

4- The smaller the subgroup, the more
characteristics the organisms have in common in
that group - The bigger the subgroup, the fewer
characteristics the organisms have in common. - Phylum is the largest subgroup
- Species is the smallest subgroup
5- Members of subgroups may have different physical
characteristics and still be in the same subgroup - Example Bulldogs and poodles look very
different but they are still the same species. - Wolves look like some dogs but they are NOT the
same species however, they are the same genus.
6KINGDOM
PHYLUM What is in kingdom that is not in phylum?

ORDER What was eliminated at this level?
Human and whale, neither have meat tearing teeth.
FAMILY Which organism is not in family but was
in order?
Bear, it cant roar
GENUS What animal has been eliminated at this
level?
Lion, it doesnt purr.

Salt, heat, acid lovers Methane producers

11Protista Plant
12Fungi Animals
13Since neither plant nor animal fits this
organism, scientists added another kingdom for
classifying organisms Protista!
- Euglena are a species if single-celled organisms
that live in pond water - Euglena are green and like most plants, can make
their own food through photosynthesis. - What do you think this is?
- Euglena can move about from place to place by
whipping their tails called flagella. - Sometimes Euglena use food obtained from other
organisms.
It is not a plant
Plants dont move and usually do not eat other
organisms. Does this mean Euglena are animals?
