Activity Overview


There are six kingdoms that all have different properties and vary widely. These are Animals, Plants, Fungi, Protists, Bacteria, and Archaea. In this activity, students will create a chart that describes each kingdom and provides examples of organisms that fall into that kingdom. Students should include the major properties of that kingdom and a short description of the organism they selected.

To make this activity more accessible to struggling or younger students, give the students the names of different living things and have them sort the organisms into the six kingdoms. Alternatively, require only animals, plants, and fungi.
