We are studying the classification of all living things in ESO 1. In this post I have summarised the groups we have seen so far. At the moment, I only intend to mention the groups, without going into detail. Make sure you know these groups well!
Living things are classified into 5 kingdoms:
ALL LIVING THINGS:
- Monera Kingdom bacteria and cyanbacteria
- Protoctist Kingdom protozoa and algae
- Fungi Kingdom yeast, mould, mushrooms
- Plant Kingdom mosses, ferns, flowering plants
- Animal Kingdom invertebrates, vertebrates
ANIMAL KINGDOM - INVERTEBRATES:
- Porifera sponges
- Cnidaria jellyfish,polyps,sea anemones
- Worms nematodes,platyhelminthes,annelids
- Molluscs gastropods,bivalves,cephalopods
- Echinoderms echinodea,stelleroidea,crinoidea,holothuroidea,ophiuroidea
- Arthropods insects,arachnids,myriapods,crustacean
Look at these posters of invertebrates, these are last years. We will do something similar soon.
Now check out this really interesting link! It's an extremely exhaustive web page about insects. It has photographs and commentaries of a great number of insect species. Remember, insects are athropods, so they have a segmented body, an exoskeleton and jointed appendages. Insects have 3 body parts (head, thorax and abdomen), 6 legs, 2 antennae and 2,4 or no wings.

The website of the insects is really interesting and great.
Irene, I'm glad to hear that you can still remember invertebrates from last year, well done!
