TO THE STUDENT!
Feel free to print out these notes for science class.
Be aware they will use quite a few pages. Try print preview.

If you choose to use these notes to replace taking notes
in class, I expect the following:

1. You will have the notes in front of you,
at the correct page, during note taking in class.

2. During class notes, you'll need to fill in 
as we move along. Also, you'll find it helpful to add diagrams,
underline and otherwise highlight items stressed in class.


IMPORTANT! A clean printed copy of these notes is NOT
        acceptable for credit

Remember, since we are not using a textbook,
a good notebook is important

I hope this can help - Mr. Sperrazza

 BTB changes to___________
 carbon dioxide + water ==> _______________  turns BTB ___________
 proof – you exhale__________________

__________________ – a special form of respiration that gets ENERGY from FOOD using little oxygen –

mostly by YEAST and SOME BACTERIA

CLASSIFICATION

Classification of Living Things

Aristotle – ancient Greek
– classified living things by:
  where they live
  how they more
  Problems?

Mid 1700’s – Carl Linne –
1st scientific system

1. classification by ____________________

2. ________ system of classification names
_________________________

Modern System of Classification

1. Based on _______________________

2. Names are Latin based –
with a 2 part scientific name (the same in all languages)
that is the Genus and species name   ________________________

3. from largest to smallest groups
Kingdom
 Phylum
  Class
   Order
    Family
     Genus

The 5 Kingdoms of Life

Monera – single celled, no nucleus
   Ex: _______________________________

Protist – mostly single celled, with a nucleus
  Ex: ________________________________

Fungi – mostly many celled, have
mycellium & hyphae, get food by rotting
  Ex: ________________________________

Plants – many celled, have cell walls &
chloroplasts, make their own food
  Ex: ________________________________

Animals – many celled, most have mouth & gut, get food by eating
  Ex: ________________________________
