What is an organism?

An individual plant, animal, or single-celled life form.

I can classify organisms by their characteristics.

Why is it important to classify them?

So we can understand their differences and similarities.

11

Let's watch a video on vascular and nonvascular plants!

Most plants are vascular plants.

  • They have special tissues that transport food and water.

  • Examples: trees, ferns, and flowering plants. ​

Vascular Plants

  • ​They do not have special tissues to transport food and water.

  • They are usually found close to the ground.

  • Examples: moss, liverworts, and hornworts. ​

Nonvascular Plants

Plants can be classified as vascular or nonvascular.

13

Let's watch a video on invertebrates and vertebrates!

14

Animals that have backbones.

  • Examples: fish, reptiles, birds, and mammals.​

Vertebrates

Invertebrates

Animals can be classified as vertebrates or invertebrates

Animals that do not have backbones.

  • Examples: insects, spiders, worms, jellyfish, and octopuses.
