Classification of Living Things Classification is the grouping of living organisms according to similar structures and functions.

Early classification systems Aristotle grouped animals according to the way they moved

The modern classification system : Developed by Carolus Linnaeus and consists of 7 levels : Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species

Examples of Classifications

Helpful way to remember the 7 levels King Philip Came Over For Grape Soda. King Philip Came Over For Green Skittles.

Binomial Nomenclature Developed by Carolus Linnaeus Two-name system: – First name is the organism’s genus – Second name is the organism’s species Developed by Carolus Linnaeus Two-name system: – First name is the organism’s genus – Second name is the organism’s species

What rules are used to write scientific names? The first letter of the genus is ALWAYS capitalized The first letter of the species is NEVER capitalized Scientific names of organisms are always italicized or underlined The first letter of the genus is ALWAYS capitalized The first letter of the species is NEVER capitalized Scientific names of organisms are always italicized or underlined

Assessment On the next page in your notebook, list me your three favorite living things, be it an animal or a plant. Make sure to list the appropriate classifications, using the King Philip came Over For Grape Soda to assist you.
