SECTION C - Continuity and Variation
Slide 4
SECTION A - Living Organisms in the Environment
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES CONTENT/EXPLANATORY
NOTES 1. group living organisms
found in a named habitat
based on observed
similarities and
differences;
Visible characteristics, such as
hairiness, colour, shape,
venation, number of legs and
wings, and body segmentation
of organs found in both plants
and animals as appropriate.
Common names of organisms
and groups are acceptable.2 classify organisms into
taxonomic groups based
on physical similarities;
Simple classification of all living
organisms into the five
kingdoms: Plantae, Animalia;
Fungi (mushroom), Prokaryotae
(Bacteria) and Proctotista
(amoeba). Further subdivision of
the Animal Kingdom into Phyla,
for example, Chordata which ...............
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES CONTENT/EXPLANATORY
NOTES ...........includes Classes (fish, reptiles,
insects, birds mammals).
These are further classified to
the level of species.
Modern classification uses
DNA sequences to determine
ancestry. Refer to SO A 2.2;
B 1.1
Note: Flowcharts could be
included with drawings under
Practical activities. 3. carry out a simple
ecological study
using the most
appropriate
collecting and
sampling methods;
Habitats may include
terrestrial and aquatic, for
example, a tree, wall or small
pond.
Features of each habitat.
Relationship between
organism and habitat –
adaptations that enable the
organism(s) to survive in that
habitat.
Relationship between
equipment used and habitat
and species being
investigated.
