Ch. 3 Science Study Guide

Lesson 1- Classifying Living Things pg. 90-95

  • Vocabulary: classify, kingdom, phylum, species, classification system, dichotomous key
  • Be able to list all of the levels of a classification system (K,P,C,O,F,G,S) and explain how the levels differ
  • Explain the differences between the 4 main kingdoms (protists, fungi, plants, animals)
  • Draw a dichotomous key
  • Explain how dichotomous key can be used and its purpose

Lesson 2- Classify Animals  pg. 96-101

  • Vocabulary: vertebrate, invertebrate
  • Be able to describe the similarities and differences of the 5 classes of vertebrates (fish, amphibians, birds, mammals, reptiles)
  • Recognize types of invertebrates (giant squids, mollusks, worms, arthropods)

Lesson 3- Classify Plants pg. 102-105

  • Vocabulary: vascular, nonvascular
  • Know the two main characteristics used to classify plants (vascular/nonvascular, how they reproduce)
  • Be able to compare and contrast mosses, ferns, conifers, and flowering plants

What else can I use to study?

  • Ch. 3 study guide on pg. 113
  • Ch. 3 Chapter Review pg. 114-115
