Learning Target

Examine evidence to show how the body is a system of interacting subsystems composed of groups of cells.

Success Criteria

Observe all parts of the Frog
Compare and Contrast similarities and differences between Frogs and Human Beings
Predict how frogs use their specialized features to survive

MS-LS1-3. - Use argument supported by evidence for how the body is a system of interacting subsystems composed of groups of cells.

MS-LS1-4. - Use argument based on empirical evidence and scientific reasoning to support an explanation for how characteristic animal behaviors and specialized plant structures affect the probability of successful reproduction of animals and plants respectively.

Division of Life

All life can be divided into categories based on their various characteristics.
The method we use today is called the Linnaean system of taxonomy also referred to as Binomial Nomenclature.
This method was the work of Carolus Linnaeus, created in 1735

The Animal Kingdom can be further broken down into two groups:
