ü Characteristics of organisms: archaebacterial, arthropods, annelids, molluscs, mammal, amphibians, birds, reptiles, fish (distinguishing features: ear flap, body covering, type of skin, limbs, nutrition, respiration-food is broken down to glucose then glucose is transferred from chemical energy to cellular energy, growth)

ü Vertebrae classes (amphibians, birds, amphibians, reptiles, mammal)

ü Cladogram, phylogeny trees (understand how closely organisms are related)

ü Lenneaus hierchial system


 * Experimental Design**

ü Scientific Question

ü Hypothesis

ü Controls

ü Independent variable

ü Dependent variable

ü Conclusion
