Fourth 9 Weeks AKS 18, 19
Classification & Kingdoms 18 - use external and internal features to classify and compare organisms (simple to complex) (ITBS)
18b - explain the history of the current method used to classify organisms
19 - investigate the diversity of living organisms and how they can be compared scientifically (GPS)
19a - differentiate and describe the major characteristics of the six-kingdoms (archaebacteria, eubacteria, protists, fungi, plants, and animals)

19a1 - compare various characteristics and life processes of organisms (i.e. cellular organization, chemical composition, growth

and development, response to stimuli, reproduction, photosynthesis, respiration, methods of obtaining food, and behavior)

19b - classify organisms using a dichotomous key based on the six-kingdom system (GPS)
19b1 – (old 20a) - distinguish between asexual and sexual reproduction (archaebacteria, eubacteria, protists, fungi, plants and animals) (GPS)
19c - demonstrate the process for the development of a dichotomous key (GPS)
19d - order the levels of classification
19e -  (Extension) explore characteristics used to classify organisms into lower taxanomic levels (i.e. phylum, class, order, family, genus, species)
