• Before creating your mind map, it would be great to learn a bit information about the five kingdoms. For that purpose we are going to use this COOPERATIVE LEARNING TECHNIQUE.

• You can use the diagrams of the Unit 2 and pages 22 & 23, Make me genius video:Classification of living things., BBC: Bitesize - Kingdoms
  • You can find pictures in Living things (Unit 1 - Science Y5), Photo for class and Banco de imagénes y Sonidos del ITE. If you need to reduce the pictures' size you could use this webpage: http://webresizer.com/
• You can use these programs to make the diagrams: http://www.popplet.com/ , http://www.spicynodes.org/ , https://cacoo.com/or https://bubbl.us/

Activity 3: Using your diagrams to explain the differences between the five kingdoms.
