1. In this unit, the summary is shown in blue, and the underlined words are vocabulary; the animation and video hyperlinks are shown in orange. http://assets.natgeotv.com/Shows/10406.jpg

2.  Scientists classify the diverse number of organisms on the planet in order to learn and study from them into hierarchical groups.  In this unit you will learn how scientists classify living things; the science of taxonomy. ◦ the arrangement of organisms into orderly groups based on similarities

3.  Von Linne [AKA Carolus Linnaeus] was the Swedish biologist who in the mid- 1700’s developed the biological system of classification. ◦ 7 taxonomic levels [or taxa] ◦ kingdom to species  Video Video http://www.ub.uit.no/northernlights/images/linne06d.jpg

5. 1.A common name eliminates confusion caused by regional name differences. ◦ EX crayfish, crawdad, mudbug are all common names for…. ◦ Cambarus bartoni http://bwrc.eecs.berkeley.edu/People/Grad_Students/hui fangq/food/HuifangCookings/edited/crawfish.jpg

6. ◦ Mountain lion, panther, cougar and puma are all common names for... ◦ Puma concolor http://wdfw.wa.gov/wlm/game/cougar/graphics/cougar4.jpg

7. ◦ Roly poly, pillbug, and wood louse are all common names for... ◦ Armadillidium vulgare http://s163.photobucket.com/user/LPH_2007/media/Super%20Macro/SuperMacro2-6.jpg.html

8. 2.organizes large amounts of information 3.Classification also reveals evolutionary relationships between organisms http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/19/Phylogenetic_Tree_of_Life.png

9.  When instructed, pick up a colored piece of paper at the front to create your mnemonic foldable.  Each pod will need some scissors.

10.  Domain  Kingdom  Phylum  Class  Order  Family  Genus  Species http://ag.arizona.edu/pubs/garden/mg/entomology/images/p4large.gif

11.  Domain is the most recently added 8 th taxonomic level, which is even more inclusive than a kingdom.  There are 3 domains shown above – 2 are prokaryotic, 1is eukaryotic. ◦ Video Video http://www.whoi.edu/cms/images/tree_550_74474.jpg

12.  Six kingdoms of life:  4 Eukaryotic Kingdoms ◦ Animals ◦ Plants ◦ Fungi ◦ Protists  2 Prokaryotic Kingdoms ◦ Archaebacteria ◦ Eubacteria http://1.bp.blogspot.com/- y_abocOeLKk/TpuITAAu8VI/AAAAAAAAHuw/SJdeqGFpZ8E/s1600/six+kingdoms+tree+of+li fe+.gif

13.  A species is a group of organisms that are very closely related and can breed fertile offspring.  Video Video http://adapaonline.org/images/biobook_images/taxonomy_pyramid.gif

14.  In Latin, nomenclatura = ◦ nomen "name"+ calare "to call"  Scientists give each organism a name in classification which consists of two parts: ◦ genus + species [specific epithet]. ◦ Typically use Latin because it is universal [worldwide] and not widely spoken, therefore, the meaning is not likely to change.

15. EX Tyrannosaurus rex translates to “tyrant lizard”+“king.” http://nerdywithchildren.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/trex-fossil.jpg http://hqwalls.org/t_rex_dinosaur_wallpaper-wallpapers.html

16.  Always in italics  Genus name is written 1 st, capitalized  Species name is written 2 nd, NOT capitalized  EX scientific names ◦ Homo sapiens (modern man) ◦ Felis catus (common housecat) ◦ Video Video http://www.bio.miami.edu/dana/pix/panthera_pardus_classification.jpg
