1. Classification Objective: TSW explain why scientists organize things into living groups describe Carolus Linnaeus’ classification system name the eight levels of classification differentiate between genus and species LS 5a-c

2. Levels of Classification Who lives in Newport News? Who lives in _____ neighborhood? Who lives on ____ street? Who lives in _____ house? What’s happening to the number of students raising their hands with each question?

3. Classification What does this look like? What can you say about the bars?

4. KPCOFGS Dear Phillip Came Over For Good Spaghetti Broadest Requirements Most Specific Requirements King

5. Leave room above to write a caption Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species Domain Scientific Name

6. Why do scientists classify? Classification – Process of grouping things Biology – study of living organisms Scientist who studies Biology - biologists

7. Why do biologists classify organisms? Makes them easier to study them Taxonomy - Scientific study of how living things are classified Carolus Linnaeus - Wrote descriptions of organisms he observed Placed organisms in groups

8. How are items placed in a grocery store? Write 6 sections/departments that you can find in a grocery store (note page) 1. Meat Department 2. Produce Section 3. Breakfast Food Section 4. Dairy Section 5. Household Cleaning Section 6. Frozen Food Section 7. Magazine Section

9. Carolus Linnaeus - Wrote descriptions of organisms he observed Placed organisms in groups based on observable features

10. Linnaeus’ naming system - Binomial nomenclature (B.N.) B.N. - Naming system in which each organism is given a two-part name Bi – two Nomial – Name or terms

11. Linnaeus’ naming system - Genus (Good) - First part of an organism’s scientific name –Always capitalized Scientific names written in Latin Very similar, closely related organisms Members of different groups usually cannot breed with one another.

12. e.g. (genus Felis – small cats) House Cat, Bobcat, and Ocelot House Cat Bobcat Ocelot

13. Genus Felis On the opposite example page Draw a House Cat, Bobcat and Ocelot Label it Genus Felis – (small cats) Characteristics: Sharp, retractable claws, purring and stalk their prey House Cat Bobcat Ocelot

14. Genus Canis On an example page Draw a Wolf, Coyote, and Husky Label it Genus Canis – domestic and wild dogs) Characteristics: You write 3 similar characteristics Wolf Coyote Husky <> Wolf

15. Linnaeus’ naming system - Species (Spaghetti) - Second part of an organism’s scientific name –This name is not capitalized Group of similar organisms that can mate and produce fertile offspring Sets one species apart from another Together a genus and species name – Make up a scientific name Identify one kind of organism

16. Genus Ursus - bears On an example page Draw the 3 bears Label each bear American Black Bear - Ursus americanus, Brown (Grizzly) Bear - Ursus arctos Polar Bear - Ursus maritimus American Black Bear - Ursus americanus Brown (Grizzly) Bear - Ursus arctos Polar Bear – Ursus maritimus

17. Remember Genus – first part of scientific name species – second part of scientific name Genus name for American Black Bear - Ursus species name for American Black Bear - americanus Ursus americanus

18. Genus name for Brown (Grizzly) Bear - Ursus species name for Brown (Grizzly) Bear - arctos Ursus arctos

19. Genus name for Polar Bear - Ursus species name for Polar Bear - maritimus Ursus maritimus

20. Seven Levels of Classification - Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species

21. Kingdom - Broadest classification level 6 Kingdoms

22. 6 Kingdoms Brain pop http://www.brainpop.com/science/seeall/ Newportps Newport

23. Kingdom - Broadest classification level Phylum – subdivision of a Kingdom Class – subdivision of a Phylum Order – subdivision of a Class Family – subdivision of an Order Genus – subdivision of a Family Species – subdivision of a Genus Which classification level is broader than the Family level? a. genus b. species c. queendom d. order

24. Kingdom - Broadest classification level Phylum – subdivision of a Kingdom Class – subdivision of a Phylum Order – subdivision of a Class Family – subdivision of an Order Genus – subdivision of a Family Species – subdivision of a Genus Which classification level is more specific than the Family level? a. order b. class c. momdom d. genus

25. More Review Questions ___ is a group of organisms that can mate and produce fertile offspring. A. SpeciesB. GenusC. Kingdom

26. More Review Questions The organism’s name for Chimpanzee is Pan troglodytes What is the Species name? a. Chimpanzee b. Pan c. troglodytes What is the Genus name? a. Chimpanzee b. Pan c. troglodytes

27. Common Traits Exercise Look at the Upside down wedding cake on page 187. What are the common characteristics in each level? Carefully look at the Kingdom level -, make a list of common characteristics? Single Cell or Multicellular ? Autotrophs or Heterotrophs Animals ? Multicellular, Heterotrophs Animals

28. Common Traits Exercise Now look at the Phylum level -, make a list of common characteristics? Multicellular, heterotrophs, vertebrate or invertebrate animals Multicellular, heterotrophs, vertebrate animals Work with your tablemate to find common characteristics for the Class -, Order -, Family-, and Genus levels -

29. Class – multicellular, heterotrophs, vertibrate, animals with wings, feather, beaks, and claws (birds) Order - multicellular, heterotrophs, vertibrate, animals with wings with wings, feather, beaks, and claws (birds), plus, similar body shape

30. Family - multicellular, heterotrophs, vertibrates, animals with wings with wings, feather, beaks, and claws (birds), similar body shape, plus flat, round face Genus - multicellular, heterotrophs, vertibrates, animals with wings with wings, feather, beaks, and claws (birds), similar body shape, flat round face, plus forward facing eyes
