Students have been working in small cooperative groups to research one of the six Kingdoms of organisms. Some worthy PowerPoint presentations and oral presentations with visuals have been presented to peer groups. One group which studied the Kingdom Fungi has dedicated a poem to this important category of organisms.
FUNGI
Do you know something over 430 million years old?
Fungi usually consist of mushrooms and of molds.
Mushrooms range in color, mostly commonly like gray
they are some of the most unusual organisms today.
Originally grouped with plants because they are immobile and rooted
some used as drugs just to help you get "zooted"!
The Six Kingdoms
All organisms fit into one of the six kingdoms currently recognized by scientists.

My kingdom is Candaria. The name Candaria come from the Greek world "Cnido";mean stinging nettle.
Many thousaands of cnidarians species live in the world's ocerans, from the tropics to the poles, from the surface to the bottom.smaller number of species are found in rivers and frest water lakes. I also learn about the four major groups of cnidarians. the major one areAnthozoa, which includes true corals, anemones,and sea pens.
Cubozoa, the amazing box jellies with complex eyes and potent toxing.
Hydrozoa, the most diverse group with siphonophore, hydroids, fire corals, and many medusae.
Scyphozoa, the true jellyfish.

My kingdom was Cindaria
A phylum that contains 11,000 species of simple animals.They are only found in water.
They get their names from Cnidocytes. Cnidocytes are specialized cells that carry organelles called nematocysts.Cindaria comes from the greek word “cnidos”, which means “stinging nettle”.
The basic structure of a Cindaria has a sac with a gastrovascular cavity, with one opening that is used as mouth and anus knowed as a manus.
Cnidaria reproduces asexually and sexually
Chordates
All chordates at sometime during their life history have: a notochord: a dorsal supporting rod located dorsally just below the nerve cord; it provides support and is replaced by the vertebral column in vertebrates
a dorsal hollow nerve cord: a fluid-filled canal; spinal cord is protected by vertebrae
Pharyngeal gill pouches: openings that function in feeding, gas exchange, or both.
Chordates that are not vertebrates.
