Let’s Classify!

What does it mean to classify? To classify means to group things according to shared characteristics.

The History of Classification As a young child, you used characteristics such as shape and color to group things.

The earliest classification systems were probably based on simple characteristics such as whether the plant or animal was beneficial to humans, harmful to humans, or neither.

It wasn’t until the 1700’s when a Swedish scientist by the name of Carolus Linnaeus, classified over 10,000 organisms into groups. The science or study of describing, classifying, and naming living things is called taxonomy.

Linnaeus’s Classification System Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species Linnaeus used seven major levels of classification

Kingdom was Linnaeus’s largest, most general level of classification Example: The Kingdom Animalia Linnaeus then organized these animals into smaller and smaller groups, always based on Shared Characteristics.

Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia

Order: Carnivora Family: Ursidae Genus: Ursus Species: maritimus

Kingdom Animalia Phylum Chordata Class Mammalia Order Carnivora Family Ursidae Genus Ursus Species maritimus

When Linnaeus developed this classification system, he also realized the importance of having a name that is unique and specific to that particular organism. Common name: polar bear Scientific name: Ursus maritimus

Do you know what groups you belong to? KINGDOM ANIMALIA PHYLUM CHORDATA CLASS MAMMALIA ORDER PRIMATES FAMILY HOMINIDAE GENUS HOMO SPECIES SAPIEN SCIENTIFIC NAME: Homo sapiens

Taxonomy, like many fields of science, is changing as new knowledge is discovered. In the 1970’s scientists added a level above kingdom called Domain. The 3 Domains are: Eukaryota: organisms whose cells have a nucleus and organelles surrounded by membranes Bacteria: prokaryotes Archaea: prokaryotes that live in extreme environments

Modern taxonomists classify organisms within those three domains based on evolutionary relationships. We’ll learn more about this in upcoming lessons. What all classification schemes have in common is that they group organisms by Shared Characteristics. Today you will classify a group of objects based on their shared characteristics.
