STUDENTS
All living organisms are classified into groups based on very basic, shared characteristics. Characteristics such as appearance, reproduction,
mobility, and functionality are just a few ways in which living organisms are grouped together. These specialized groups are collectively called
the classification of living things. The classification of living things includes 7 levels: kingdom, phylum, classes, order, families, genus, and
species.
Kingdoms
The most basic classification of living things is kingdoms. Currently there are five kingdoms. Living things are placed into certain
kingdoms based on how they obtain their food, the types of cells that make up their body, and the number of cells they contain.
Phylum
The phylum is the next level following kingdom in the classification of living things. It is an attempt to find some kind of physical
similarities among organisms within a kingdom. These physical similarities suggest that there is a common ancestry among those
organisms in a particular phylum.
Classes
Classes are way to further divide organisms of a phylum. As you could probably guess, organisms of a class have even more in common
than those in an entire phylum. Humans belong to the Mammal Class because we drink milk as a baby.
Order
Organisms in each class are further broken down into orders. A taxonomy key is used to determine to which order an organism belongs.
A taxonomy key is nothing more than a checklist of characteristics that determines how organisms are grouped together.
Families
Genus
Genus is a way to describe the generic name for an organism. The genus classification is very specific so there are fewer organisms
within each one. For this reason, there are a lot of different genera among both animals and plants. When using taxonomy to name an
organism, the genus is used to determine the first part of its two-part name.
Species
Species are as specific as you can get. It is the lowest and strictest level of classification of living things. The main criterion for an
organism to be placed in a particular species is the ability to breed with other organisms of that same species. The species of an
organism determines the second part of its two-part name.
Kingdoms are a way that scientists have developed to divide all living things. These divisions are based on what living things have in common and how
they differ. This system was developed over 2, 000 years ago and has changed drastically over the years.
BACTERIA KINGDOM
Bacteria or Monera Kingdom consists of organisms that are made up of one cell. These organisms are called unicellular. These unicellular organisms
are made of a very simple cell that often lacks many cell parts, such as a nucleus, that are commonly found in other cells. Bacteria are a type of Monera.
ALGAE KINGDOM
Algae or Protista are similar to Monera in that they are unicellular. Algae are a bit more complex because they contain a nucleus. They also have
moving parts and can move around within their environment.
FUNGI KINGDOM
Fungi have their own kingdom because there is no other organism like them. They were once thought to be plants but they differ from plants in one
major way. Fungi cannot make their own food. Mushrooms are a type of fungi.
PLANT KINGDOM
All plants are a part of the Plant Kingdom. Plants include trees, grass, flowers, and algae. They all share the common characteristic of being able to
make their own food using water and sunlight. Because they only require a few simple requirements, plants can grow almost anywhere.
ANIMAL KINGDOM
Organisms in the Animal Kingdom are multicellular and rely on other organisms for food. This kingdom is by far the largest of all the kingdoms. The
animals of the Animal Kingdom can be found all over the world and can be any size from very tiny to extremely big.

9. ACTIONS THROUGH WHICH IS DEMONSTRATED THE ACQUIREMENT OF THE LEVEL OF GENERIC COMPETENCY OF THE STUDENT
10. TRAINING WITH THE STUDENTS WHO HAVE NOT SHOWN THE ACQUIREMENT OF THE LEVELS OF COMPETENCY DURING THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THE LESSON PLAN
Si el estudiante no evidencia el nivel de desempeño esperado, el docente debe ejecutar actividades como:
- Plan Padrino
- Seguimiento más personalizado del docente al estudiante y explicación de conceptos, para que el estudiante pueda entender mejor y poner
los mismos en práctica rutinaria.
11. TRAINING WITH THE STUDENTS IN THE LEVELS OF COMPETENCY BEFORE AND AFTER THE FINAL TEST.
11.1 BEFORE THE FINAL TEST: la semana anterior a la evaluación, el docente debe hacer un entrenamiento con los estudiantes en los tres
niveles de competencia como preparación para la evaluación final del periodo académico.
11.2 AFTER THE FINAL TEST: Después de valorada la evaluación final por el docente; se debe corregir la evaluación con los estudiantes,
explicando el porqué del nivel de cada pregunta. Metodología:
- organizar parejas colaborativas
- a cada pareja se le asignará un número específico de preguntas
- este grupo debe analizar cuál es el problema de la pregunta y por qué una de sus opciones a contestar es la correcta
- luego, este análisis debe ser socializado en el aula.
11.3 ASSIGNMENT: El estudiante que haya marcado respuestas equivocadas, debe realizar un párrafo explicativo, no mayor a 50 palabras,
donde justifique por qué determinada opción es la respuesta correcta. Esta actividad debe tener un Juicio de Valor dentro de las
evidencias de proceso del siguiente periodo académico.
12. EXTRA - ACTIVITIES: son las actividades que el docente planea como refuerzo o profundización en los contenidos disciplinares abordados en
la Unidad Didáctica. Estas actividades deben ser sacadas del libro del bibliobanco. (El docente debe planear mínimo 5 actividades del texto
escolar).
1st Activity: Do page 11, the checkpoint on the notebook.
2nd Activity: Do page 13, the checkpoint on the notebook.
3rd Activity: Do page 17, the checkpoint on the notebook.
4th Activity: Do page 21, the checkpoint on the notebook.
5th Activity: Do the classification of page 18 on the notebook, with colours

14. GLOSSARY.
BACTERIA: single-celled or non-cellular spherical or spiral or rod-shaped organisms lacking chlorophyll that reproduce by fission;
important as pathogens and for biochemical properties; taxonomy is difficult; often considered to be plants.
CLASSIFICATION: It is the process of putting something into a category.
FUNGI: The taxonomic kingdom including yeast, molds, smuts, mushrooms, and toadstools; distinct from the green plants.
GENUS: A genus is a class or group of something. In biology, it's a taxonomic group covering more than one species.
KINGDOM: The highest taxonomic group into which organisms are grouped; one of five biological categories: Monera or Protoctista or
Plantae or Fungi or Animalia
PHYLUM: The major taxonomic group of animals and plants; contains classes
PLURICELLULAR: Something that's multicellular is a complex organism, made up of many cells. Humans are multicellular.
PROTISTA: Eukaryotic one-celled living organisms distinct from multicellular plants and animals: protozoa, slime molds, and eukaryotic
algae
