Why Classify? Classification makes it easier to answer questions about living things such as How many known species are there? What are the defining characteristics of each species? What are the relationships between these species?

Levels of Classification Taxonomy The science of describing, classifying, and naming living things Levels of Classification King Phillip Came Over For Great Spaghetti Kingdom (largest, most general) Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species (only one kind of organism)

Binomial Nomenclature (two names) What is a puma vs. a mountain lion vs. a cougar? Names are in Latin or Greek so that all scientists use the same name Linnaeus simplified the naming process with two parts; genus and species. Genus is always capitalized, species is lower case Genus and species are in italics or underlined Felis concolor
