Unit 2: Biodiversity
With approximately 1.5 million types of organisms known today and many more being found, biologists had to come up with a system for classifying such a diverse group of species. In this unit we will look at the process of taxonomy and further investigate the 6 Kingdoms in which organisms are classified into. We will investigate an array of organisms with respect to their anatomy, physiology and life cycles.

Outcome 17
1. Complete the vocabulary chart looking at key terms used to explain the evolution of Kingdom Animalia. Use the textbook pages 657-663, 683 and 689 to research the definitions of the words, be careful with google as it might be more than required. Remember to not write down things you don't understand, but rather do further research or ask for help.
2. Fill out the notes looking at the characteristics of each phyla in Kingdom Animalia. Use the textbook sections given; however remember you should be able to fill out the requirements for each phyla in the table within the first page or two of each phyla's section in the textbook.
Sponges
Cnidarians
Flatworms
Roundworms
Mollusks
Annelids
Arthropods
Echinoderms
Chordates
3. Complete the outcome practice looking at the evolution of kingdom plantae and what makes an organism complex vs. simple. You can use Mr. Anderson's video on Animals as well as the text pages 660 - 663.
4. Complete the outcome practice for identifying the phyla of kingdom Animalia to prepare for the lab for outcome 18. You can use your notes chart that we did looking at each of the phyla to help you.

Outcome 14
1. Complete the notes sheet looking at the characteristics of each Kingdom. Use the textbook on page 459 to assist you. On the backside of the page write the definition for any of the words on the chart you are unsure of their meaning, the glossary in the textbook or google can help you with this.
2. Watch the crash course review video looking at the development of taxonomy, current taxonomy (domains, cladograms) and the 6 Kingdoms.
