Taxonomy and Classification
What is
classification?
Organizing into
groups
If you were asked where you live, how would
you answer?
Let’s go around the room and share where we
live.
What if you were visiting Germany and
someone asked the same question? Would your
answer be the same?
Let’s now break it down from large to small or
from broad to specific.

Classification
a very broad term which simply means
putting things into groups.
Taxonomy
is the science of classifying living things
and naming them
HOW DO SCIENTIST CLASSIFY LIVING ORGANISMS?
What animal is this?

Answer – Brown Bear (Ursus arctos)

Answer – I’m not quite sure but I would guess
White Bear.
Aren’t we using colors to identify?

Having simple descriptive names for a species
doesn’t work.

name?

The science name becomes the universal name
for the whole world to study and understand.
That’s why we need taxonomy!

Taxonomy
Carolus Linnaeus created a seven layer system for
classifying organisms.

The Five Kingdom System
Linnaeus developed his system using easily observed
characteristics.
Today scientists use DNA to help classify.
Panda Bear? or Panda Racoon????
Organisms are placed into kingdoms based on:
If the cells have a nucleus(Eukaryotes)
or if they do not (Prokaryotes)
How many cells they have
Unicellular
Multicellular
If the organism moves
If the organism makes its own food
Autotrophic - makes its own food
Heterotrophic - takes in food
The classification system used today is separated into 5
kingdoms.

Moneran
Bacteria

Taxonomy
Carolus Linnaeus’ system gives a two word name to
every organism. This is called binomial
nomenclature.
The first word is the genus and the second is the
species
Which is more specific? (7 Layer classification)
First word is capitalized and the second is
lower case. Both words are italicized or underlined
Felis catus
Canis lupus
Felis rufa
Canis latrans
