3. Early classification Aristotle grouped everything into
simple groups such as animals or plants
He then grouped animals according to if they had blood or didn’t have blood, and if they had live young or laid eggs, and so on…

4. Binomial Nomenclature
Developed by Carolus Linnaeus
Swedish Biologist 1700’s
Two-name system
Genus and species named using Latin or Greek words

6. Mnemonic Device
Create and Illustrate a Mneumonic Device for the 7 levels of classification
Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order Family Genus Species
Kings Play Chess On Fine Grain Sand
-Your Mneumonic Device should be:
Titled “Linnaeus Taxonomic Classification System Mnemonic Device
School Appropriate (I will be displaying these around the room)
Colored
Creative (Do not just settle on the first one you can think of, this step should take time)
Your Drawing should be detailed and it should show a scene of your sentence (I understand that we are not all artist, but this is where Effort plays a huge role!)

Step 2: Choose one of the following organisms.
Lion
Palm Tree
- E. coli bacteria
Humpback Whale
Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake
Honey Bee
Step 3: Copy the classification of your organism into the pyramid you drew.
Ex. Kingdom (Animalia)
Step 4: Draw and color your organism and outline your pyramid in a color of your choice. These will be displayed around the classroom.
Step 1: On one half of your paper you are going to draw a pyramid representing the 7 taxa of Linnaeus’ Taxonomic classification system
Species
Genus
Family
Order
Class
Phylum
Kingdom
