A very large group of organisms with only a few features in common, such as all animals or all plants.

Organism made of cells that have a nucleus, but do not have a cell wall and cannot make their own food.

Organism made of cells that have a nucleus, a cell wall and can make their own food.

Organism made of cells that have a nucleus and a cell wall, but cannot make their own food.

Organism made of a single cell that does not have a nucleus.

Classification and species

Classifying organisms using a classification key

Identification and classification in the field

Pupils will learn that there is variation between individuals within a species, which can be described as continuous or discontinuous depending on the cause.

Pupils learned how to group animals, plants and microorganisms based on similarities and differences in their observable features.

This unit explores the differences between species and how to interpret observations and data to identify patterns and draw conclusions. It also focuses on making and recording observations using various methods, evaluating their reliability, and suggesting improvements for investigations.

Species and classification (differences between species)

Which of these images represents a fungus cell?

True or false? Plant cells have a cell wall **instead of** a cell membrane.

Bacterial cells **do not** have a {{}}. Their DNA is found in the cytoplasm.

whether it is unicellular or multicellular

whether its cells have a large permanent vacuole

Which one of these features would be **most** helpful when classifying an organism as a plant?

Match the feature to the kingdom of organisms it is specific to.

According to the classification key, what are the features of a fungus cell?

Which of these diagrams represents a single cell?

Which of the following do **all** cells have in common?

DNA is stored in the {{}} of an animal cell.

Contain DNA that is loose in the cytoplasm.

Match each cell type with the correct description.
