  3. Why is observation important when classifying things?

  4. scientist need to observe the characteristics of organism in order to group them together based on their similarities.

  5. Classification: Is the process of grouping things based on their similarities.

  6. Why do Scientists Classify?

  7. To help us study the earth • To help us organize all the species we discover . . .

  8. To give every species a name based on a standard method so scientists from different countries can talk about the same animal without confusionIt is always written in the Latin Language

  9. Biologist use classification to organizeliving thingsintogroupsso that the organisms are easier to study

  10. Who is Carolus Linnaeus? CarolusLinnaeus was a Swedish botanist Developed a 8-level (taxa) classificationsystem based on similarities between organisms

  11. An organism is known by two names… • For example: • Canislupusis the scientific name for a gray wolf. • Canis is the genus name • lupus is the species name • This system uses a binomial nomenclature

  12. The first word in an organism's scientific name is its genusgenus: is a classification grouping that contains similar, closely related organisms

  13. The second word in a scientific name describes a distinctive feature of an organismTogether, the two words indicate a speciesA species is a group of similar organisms that can mate with each other and produce offspring that can also mate and reproduce

  14. Binomial Nomenclature • Bi means two • Nomen means name • A binomial nomenclature is a classification system using two names to identify an organism

  15. The Eight Level System • Domain • Kingdom • Phylum • Class • Order • Family • Genus • Species • Dumb • Kids • Playing • Catch • On • Freeways • Get • Squashed

  16. How does it work? • There are 6 broad kingdoms • Every living thing that we know of fits into one of the six kingdoms • Each level gets more specific as fewer organisms fit into any one group

  17. A Sample Classification The lion belongs to the following groups: Kingdom Animalia (includes all animals) Phylum Chordata (includes all vertebrate animals, as well as some other more primitive ones) Class Mammalia (includes all mammals) Order Carnivora (includes carnivorous mammals, from bears to raccoons to harbor seals) Family Felidae (includes all cats) Genus Panthera (includes the great roaring cats: lions, tigers, jaguars, and leopards) Species leo (lions!)
