Science Starter Complete Dichotomous Key on Norns. Sheet is located at the front desk. Have your Dichotomous Key in your ISN opened up.

Classifying Organisms What is classification? The process of grouping things based on their similarities. Why do biologist classify? To organize living things into groups. It makes it easier to discuss and study.

Taxonomy Taxonomy is the scientific study of how things are classified into groups. - It allows scientist to know specific information about certain organisms. What qualities make for a good classification system?

Binomial Nomenclature Break Down Binomial – Two Names Nomenclature – Naming This is a two-name system. Developed by Carolus Linnaeus

Rules used to write scientific names Homo sapiens An organisms genus is always written first; an organisms species is always written second. 3 requirements for scientific names 1. Both words italicized 2. Genus is capitalized 3. Species is lower case

The Modern System of Classification has 8 levels… Domain Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species The more classification two organisms share, the more characteristics they have in common.
