classify living things for the purpose of communication and study. S.7.39 Lists the characteristic functions
that distinguish living from nonliving matter. S.7.40 Knows that an organism’s scientific
name consists of two Latin words, which identify its exact place in the
taxonomy of organisms. S.7.41 Explains how living organisms can be
classified according to similarities in structure, behavior, food needs and
chemical makeup into kingdom, phyla, classes, order, families, genera, and
species. S.7.42 Describes the major characteristics
of the five kingdoms. S.7.43 Classifies common organisms into
kingdoms based on similarities. S.7.44 Knows that structural
characteristics of organisms may vary in shape, color, size, composition,
location in the organism, etc… S.7.45 Identifies the internal and external
structures of an organism which enables it to live, move and obtain food in
its environment. S.7.46 Identifies specific organisms
through observation of their structures. S.7.47 Uses ocular equipment to examine

have several functions and lists ways in which they can adapt for survival. S.7.49 Knows that behavior refers to
the manner in which organisms respond to stimuli. |
