  1. This video talks about the six kingdoms of life. The first kingdom is the animal/animilia kingdom, which has all the moving, living animals we know. Then there's the plant/plantae kingdom, which has all the plants. These plants absorb food from sunlight in a process called photosynthesis. Next there's the fungi, which absorb food from animal decay and rotting plants. After that, there's the archaebacteria kingdom, whos cells have NO NUCLEUS, and can survive within hard to survive locations. Finally the eubacteria, which also has no nucleus, but can only survive within mild climate.

  2. Classification is the arrangement of organisms into groups, based on their similarities. The the reason why scientists use this arrangement is to find out what species are on earth. Filogony is the study of organisms on earth. Over the course of time, animals have evolved in shape based on their environment. To find out how, scientists look for similarities in fossils or DNA. Based on this evidence, they are able to create a timeline of change.
    There are different classifications for every species on earth. Animalia: multicellular organisms with a nucleus that moves from place to place. Plantae: single celled organism with a nucleus that uses photosynthesis. Fungi: single/multi celled organisms with a nucleus that absorbs nutrients from dead stuff. Protista: any single/multi celled organism with a nucleus that is not in the kingdom of Animalia, plantae, or fungi. Bacteria: single celled organism without a nucleus.

  3. this video is about the six kingdoms, which includes animalia, plantae, fungi, Protista, bacteria, and archaebacteria. it is also about classification, which goes kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species.

  4. this video is about the six kingdoms. the six kingdoms our a way to classify living thing and the kingdoms are animalia, plantea, Protista, fungi, bacteria, archbacteria. if we did not have this classification method then we would be very confused as people and as scientists because say you went to Spain and asked a local if there were whales or something they would propyl not know what you were asking because we speak a different language but if we were to use the scientific term the they would be more likely to know what you were saying. there are also more classifications in the kingdoms now all of the classifications are the same for all of the kingdoms and those classifications are kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species there is a mnemonic for this and that is
    K. king
    P. phillip
    C. came
    O. over
    F. for
    G. grape
    S. soda

  5. This video Was very informing. I learned about the Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species. Also known as King Phillip came over for grape soda. I learned that keyboard cat was a species of cat. I also learned about The scientific name of animals. What would keyboard cats scientific name be? Felis Keyboardus?

  6. I realized afterwords this would not be enough so I am writhing more. The six kingdoms are animalia(multicellular organisms with a nucleolus that move from place to place and respond to the environment), plantea (single celled or multicellular organisms with a nucleus that make food with photosynthesis) , fungi(Single or multicelled organisms that has a nucleolus that absorbs nutrients from decomposing organisms),protista ( Any single or simple multicelled organisms with a nucleus that is not in the kingdoms Animalia, Plantea, and Fungi),archbacteria( single celled organisms with NO NUCLEUS and live in environments where most organisms won't survive), and Eubacteria( a single celled orginisams that have NO NUCLEUS that lives in milder enviorments such as soil, human body, and water)

  7. This was a very informative video, but the whole evolution thing made no sense. But besides that, these are the things this video talked about:
    1. Classification is the arrangement of organisms into groups by their similarities.
    2. There are six different kingdoms of life.
    3. The kingdoms of life are Animalia, Plantae, Fungi, Protista, Eubacteria, and Archaebacteria.
    4. Plantae make their own food using photosynthesis.
    5. All organisms have nucleuses except bacteria.
    6. There are seven levels of classification.

    (P.S.) the tarantula is still freaking me out!!

    (P.S.S.) the monkey face organisms actually did look like monkeys!

    (P.S.S.S.) LOL! Who else couldn't stop laughing from 11:09-11:30?!?!

  8. The six kingdoms of life, what are they? They're called kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. Each level classifies a creature to help scientists study them. These classifications are under these categories: Animalia, Plantae, fungi, Protista, bacteria. There are two kinds of bacteria: eubacteria and archaebacteria. All the creatures under animalia, plantae, fungi, and Protista have a nucleus, but creatures under bacteria do not. Archaebacteria can live or survive in extreme environments or where most creatures will not live and eubacteria lives in soil, the human body, or in water. To use a scientific name for a creature, scientists use a system called Binomial Nomenclature. This system uses two different categories of the six kingdoms to identify that creature. For example the scientific name for a panther, a cougar, or a puma would be Felis Concolor. Which is in the genus and species category. This is how you classify and discover the creature and the history behind it.

  9. the six kingdoms first sounded as a scary thing that would be hard to understand and learn. But after being taught the: king Philip came over for grape soda dose help me remember what the order is. the three kingdoms are anomalies, plantae, and fungi. The class are: kingdom phylum class order family genus species.

  10. The video talked about classification. Classification puts different subjects into categories so they can be identified. There are 6 kingdoms:
    ANIMAL KINGDOM: All animals
    PLANT KINGDOM: they go through a process called photosynthesis, where plants absorb sunlight to make food.
    FUNGI KINGDOM: Their food is rotten plants and decayed animals.
    ARCHAEBACTERIA KINGDOM: the cells of these have no nucleus.
    EUBACTERIA KINGDOM: they can live in mild climates.

  11. i think this was a very informative video. I like how it makes the six kingdoms sound so easy to understand.
    the six kingdome are
    animal
    plant
    fungi
    archaebacteria
    and the eubacteria
    I think that it is very cool that all these materials in the world are classified as such.
