\nClassification helps organise the diverse group of organisms (ACSSU111)
\n– grouping a variety of organisms on the basis of similarities and differences in particular features
\n– classifying using hierarchical systems such as kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species
\n– using scientific conventions for naming species
\n– using provided keys to identify organisms surveyed in a local habitat
\nInteractions between organisms, including the effects of human activities can be represented by food chains and food webs (ACSSU112)
\n– using food chains to show feeding relationships in a habitat
\n– constructing and interpreting food webs to show relationships between organisms in an environment
\n– classifying organisms of an environment according to their position in a food chain
\n– recognising the role of microorganisms within food chains and food webs<\/p>\n

\nrelates the structure and function of living things to their classification, survival and reproduction SC4-14LW
\nLW1 There are differences within and between groups of organisms; classification helps organise this diversity. (ACSSU111)
\na.\u00a0\u00a0 identify reasons for classifying living things
\nb.\u00a0\u00a0 classify a variety of living things based on similarities and differences in\u00a0structural features
\nc.\u00a0\u00a0 use simple keys to identify a range of plants and animals
\ne.\u00a0\u00a0 outline the structural features used to group living things, including plants, animals, fungi and bacteria
\nLW5 Science and technology contribute to finding solutions to conserving and managing sustainable ecosystems.
\na.\u00a0\u00a0 construct and interpret food chains and food webs
\nb.\u00a0\u00a0 describe interactions between organisms in food chains and food\u00a0webs, including producers, consumers and decomposers (ACSSU112)
\nd.\u00a0\u00a0 predict how human activities can affect interactions in food chains and\u00a0food webs, including examples from Australian land or marine ecosystems (ACSSU112) <\/p>\n

\nThere are differences within and between groups of organisms\u037e classification helps organise this diversity
\n– grouping a variety of organisms on the basis of similarities and differences in particular features
\n– classifying using hierarchical systems, for example, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species
\n– using provided keys to identify organisms surveyed in a local habitat
\nVCSSU093
\nInteractions between organisms can be described in terms of food chains and food webs and can be affected by human activity

Students study the features of different organisms and consider how these are used for classification, with research tasks investigating the various groupings in the animal kingdom. They look at food webs and feeding relationships. There are also literacy tasks to help get things under way.<\/p>\n

The Science Grab Bags included a range of curriculum materials including worksheets, literacy materials, practical tasks, practical alternatives, plenaries, crosswords, research tasks and much more. All resources are placed in individual digital files along with separate answer files. The Premium version includes the original Word files – great for teacher editing before sharing or as a basis for student work. Approx 100+ pp in individual task files (including full separate answer files) plus spreadsheets and PowerPoints.<\/em><\/p>\n
