Five+Kingdoms+of+life

__**THE FIVE KINGDOMS OF LIFE**__ One of the most commonly used classification schemes divides organisms into five groups (called Kingdoms).

The five Kingdoms are:

1/ Animalia

2/ Plantae

3/ Fungi

4/ Monera

5/ Protoctista

Your task today is to find out what features are shared by members of each group. For example what features are shared by all animals. What features are shared by all plants? By fungi? By monerans? What about the protists? As you find out about these features make sure you find definitions for any characteristics that you are not already familiar with.

Before you begin on this, however I would like you to find out what distinguishes living things from non-living things.

Please complete this task as a word document or powerpoint presentation and upload it to your wiki page when finished.

Make sure you use the discussion forum to ask questions to help you with your research (I will monitor this).

Due Tuesday 2/8 end of period 7.
