Life science learners discuss the characteristics of five kingdoms of life: animals, plants, fungi, protists, and bacteria in this video. Viewers find out from the dialogue that scientists group organisms according to similarities. This...

Why can't dinosaurs clap their hands? Because they no longer exist. The six kingdoms do exist, and through the presentation individuals discover kingdom names, their description, and view photographs of a few samples.

Embryology and symmetry of animals is presented in this group of slides. Because it covers embryonic germ layer, protostome, and deuterostome development, it is most appropriate for your advanced biology learners or college students. Use...

Students review the various categories in taxonomy. In groups, they identify the characteristics of each kingdom and compare and contrast them. They define the terms binomial nomenclature and morphology. To end the lesson, they create...

Zoe and RJ discuss the way scientists classify organisms into five kingdoms. Characteristics of each group are highlighted within their conversation and with text. First-time taxonomists can view the animation at home, take the...

Based on DNA, fungi relate more closely to animals than to plants. This new scientific knowledge shifted the world view of scientists and opened up new classifications. Viewers learn about fungi's place in evolution, in the tree of life,...

As you work through the biological hierarchy, visit several phyla within the animal kingdom. This PowerPoint introduces viewers to characteristics and reproduction in sponges, cnidarian, flatworms, and roundworms. Make sure to add the...

There are some great diagrams and labels on these slides that support the topic of plants. The definition of kingdoms, and summaries of the vascular systems and gamete production are given. This would be a perfect choice to kick off a...

Fifth graders are introduced to the classification system used in Science. In groups, they explain the characteristics of each of the five kingdoms. After watching a video, they review the life processes of each kingdom and complete a...

Sort through the "junk drawer kingdom" as the protists laugh at our attempts to classify them! AP biology classes consider the array of organisms that do not file neatly into the other four kingdoms of classification. Evidence for the...

Classify living things with a set of worksheets that has pupils sorting and indentifying living and non-living things. Learners use the worksheets as a basis for finding their answers. 

Students create a flip book that describes the basic characteristics of the five main animal kingdoms. They research the animal kingdoms, include examples of organisms for each kingdom and illustrate the finished text.

In this PowerPoint, students participate in a variation of tic tac toe in which questions about the animal and plant kingdom are presented and students move to various locations on the game board.

In this kingdom fungi worksheet, students conduct an experiment creating and observing dough. They describe what happened to the dough while they observed it and name the type of fungus is the yeast added. Students also explain what...

Biological taxonomy masters examine the five main classes under phylum chordata. Pupils compare and contrast the identifying characteristics of the various organisms. They explain why taxonomy is important in classifying organisms. You...

Taxonomy is the study of organisms and how you phylum. Three biology activities are included, helping scholars understand four of the six kingdoms, specifically Protista, Plantae, Fungi, and Animalia. Scholars observe and classify...

In this kingdom fungi worksheet, students write the name of the fungi division that is identified with each diagram. Then they describe why saprophytes are good for the environment and in what conditions fungi grows best. Students also...

In this bacterial growth worksheet, students conduct an experiment on how temperature affects bacterial growth between a jar placed in the refrigerator and another in a warm place. They also describe what they would infer was the primary...

In this bacterial growth worksheet, 9th graders name and describe the three types of bacteria found. Then they label the figure of the bacterium by writing the correct term next to each number. Students also describe the difference...

Young scholars explore various types and characteristics of fungi. For this fungi lesson,students view drawings of how mushrooms grow, examine samples of fungi and complete a handout.

This jeopardy PowerPoint covers 5 questions for each of the 5 kingdoms. 

Searching for the perfect indoor/outdoor activity that allows class members the opportunity to learn about organism classification? Here, pupils research organisms and categorize them according to domain and kingdom over the course...
