mnemonic

New words from reading

 Tuesday 23rd July 2019

Big idea: within each kingdom there are more different groups that classify animals. 

• Prokaryotes - a name of a kingdom 
• Etc means etcetera
• Interbreed - when two different animals have babies together

Mnemonics help us remember hard things, for example NEVER EAT SOGGY WEETBIX helps us remember North East South West. 

This is the mnemonic i learnt to help me remember the order:

New words from animal kingdom reading Monday’s reading Organism - a living thing Vertebrate - has a spine Invertebrate - has no spine Taxonomy - a way to group things Diverse - a big range Amphibians - Heterotrophic - means they must find and eat food Primates (apes, monkeys) Rodents (rats, squirrels) Cetaceans (dolphins, whales) Marsupials (kangaroos, koalas) Monotremes (egg laying mammals like the platypus) Autotrophic - make their own food by photosynthesis Photosynthesis - how plants make their own food Vascular - uses roots to absorb water Nonvascular - uses the whole plant to absorb water Decompose, decomposition - to break down Non-flowering - no flowers Thermophiles - (root word is thermo which is about temperature) Big ideas from the reading All living things are called organisms. They are organised into 6 groups called kingdoms. Each group has certain characteristics that each organism must have. Animals Can move on their own Are heterotrophic (can’t make their own food) Must eat to survive Vertebrates and invertebrates Plants They are Autotrophic (they make their own food) Some are vascular and nonvascular. If a plant has seeds or fruit, it is a flowering plant. Eubacteria Are made up of just one cell. They are everywhere. Some bacteria are good and some are bad. Bacteria called decomposers break down dead plants and anacteria. Archaebacteria Can survive where no other organism can live. Thermophiles, methanogens and halophiles Fungi Say it fun guy Mushrooms are a fungi They are heterotrophic (can’a make their own food) Use enzymes to break down food Protista Are related to either plants, animals or fungi (one of them, not related to all of them at the same time)
