Classification

Classification: The grouping of things according to similar characteristics. We put objects into groups based on how similar they are.

Taxonomy The science of classification! Aristotle- (Ancient Greek philosopher)- Classified organisms as plants or animals.

Carolus Linnaeus Swedish naturalist that grouped organisms by similar structure. He used Binomial Nomenclature- two part naming system. He identified creatures by two names: Genus and species.

Modern Classification Modern scientists use: Similarities, fossils, and genetics to group organisms today.

Mnemonic Device “Dear King Phillip came over for good spaghetti!” Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class,Order, Family, Genus, Species.

Modern Classification Kingdoms are the largest and most general category. While species are the smallest and most specific. Organisms belonging to the same species can reproduce offspring.

Scientific Names Using common names among scientists can cause confusion. Linnaeus helped solve this problem by developing binomial nomenclature.

Examples of Scientific Names: Acer Rubrum = Red Maple

Homo Sapiens= People

Drosophila Melanogaster = Fruit Fly

Acer palmatum dissectum atropurpureum = Purple Cut leaf Japanese Maple
