1. Classification

2. Lesson Learning goal: Success criteria: What is a species?
Know the 6 kingdoms and what they mean
Success criteria:
Have a correct definition for species written in your book.
Be able to recite the 6 kingdoms and give at least one example of an organism in each.

3. What is a species?
An organism that is able to interbreed and produce fertile, viable offspring.

6. History of classification: Linnaeus
Carolus Linnaeus known as the father of modern taxonomy
Classified organisms by their structure Developed naming system still used today.
Binomial nomenclature Two-word name (Genus & species)
Example:
Scientific name: Homo sapien
Common name: Humans
What are the rules for writing scientific names?

7. Kingdoms “Groups” of living things.
Organisms in this group have similar characteristics and are related to each other.

8. Whittaker’s 5 Kingdoms (Old System)

21. How do we identify diverse organisms?
In the lab: DNA – the blueprint of life. Every species has common DNA
Field guides
Dichotomous keys

22. Identification today – field guides
Field guides are a commonly
used type of reference book to
help people identify organisms.
These books are specially
designed to assist you in ‘on-the
spot’ identification.
They often contain brief written
descriptions and pictures and are
Small enough to take outside when you are observing wildlife.
