Classification

What is Classification? Classification is the arrangement of organisms into orderly groups based on their similarities

Why classify? There are millions of different living things in the world Making sense of all those living things requires classification Classifying living things makes it easier for biologists to answer questions

Levels of Classification Domain Kingdom Phylum (plural: phyla) BrainPop Classification Class Order Family Genus (plural: genera) Species (contains only one kind of organism)

Did King Phillip Come Over For Green Spaghetti? Domain Kingdom – Most General Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species – Most Specific

Taxonomy Carolus Linnaeus was a Swedish physician and botanist who lived in the 1700’s. Linnaeus founded taxonomy taxonomy - the science of identifying, classifying, and naming living things

What is a taxonomist? A taxonomist is a scientist that uses a dichotomous key to classify living organisms

Binomial nomenclature Two-part scientific name The first part of the name identifies the genus, and the second part identifies the species Ex. Tyrannosaurus rex Ex. Elephas maximus (Indian elephant)

Dichotomous key Aid in identifying unknown organisms
