Taxonomy
the science of naming and classifying organisms. Taxonomists are scientists that identify & name organisms
Organisms are further classified into the 7 levels of taxonomic classification. Each level/rank or category is called a taxon

Why is it that they are classified into hierarchy or levels?
To group organisms from their broadest characteristics down to a more specific trait or characteristics of species.
What is the highest category? Kingdom Each organism is distinguished based on its cells and methods of nutrition.

Lets use the human as an example in using the 7 levels of classification
Which one is different?

HUMAN
Kingdom : ANIMALIA
13
What is NEXT TO KINGDOM? PHYLUM
Organisms are grouped based on their similarities in their basic body or organization. division for plants
Phylum
Mollusca (octopus) Annaleida (earthworm) Arthopoda (cockroach) Chordata (shark)

HUMAN
Kingdom : Phylum : ANIMALIA CHORDATA
17
What is NEXT TO PHYLUM? CLASS It is a group or set of organisms with common characteristics, attributes, qualities or traits.

Class
Mammals Reptiles Amphibians Pisces Aves
Amphibians
Cold blooded Vertebrate Breathing by gills when young Live on land or water Smooth skinned
Reptiles
Cold blooded Vertebrate Skin is covered in scales. Lay eggs
Aves
Lay eggs Covered in feathers They can fly Beak Vertebrates Warm blooded No teeth
Pisces
Breath by gills Live in water Cold blooded They have fins Eyes on the side of their head Lay eggs
Mammals
Characteristics of Mammals
Fur Mammary glands Feed its young Temperature is constant Mammals are endothermic (meaning they generate heat within their bodies and metabolically and special
cooling mechanisms).
Breath by lungs
HUMAN
Kingdom : Phylum : Class: ANIMALIA CHORDATA MAMMALIA
26
What is NEXT TO CLASS? ORDER It is comprised of families sharing a set of similar nature or character.

Carnivore-Meaning that these animals are only meat eaters. (Cheetah) Omnivore-Meaning that theses animals eat both plants and meat. (Pigs) Herbivore-Meaning that these animals eat only leaves and plants. (Rabbits)

What is NEXT TO ORDER? FAMILY

A category of related organisms, comprising one or more genera
Family names of animals always end in idae ex: Equidae horse family In plants almost always end in aceae

Tiger
Although these are all different they belong in the same cat family.

What is the LAST CATEGORY?

SPECIES
It is regarded as the basic category of classification, composed of related individuals that resemble one another, are able to breed among themselves, but are not able to breed with members of another species.

Classify me
Classify the pictures of different organisms by basing on the descriptions of each levels on your activity sheet. There are 4 kinds of organisms that need to be classified. Find out what organism is it, then after you have classified, paste the organisms picture on the box provided.

Kingdom
Animalia
Eukaryotic and multicellular. They are heterotrophic, generally digesting food in an internal chamber, lacking rigid cell walls. They are motile. Includes vertebrates as well as some invertebrates that possess, at least for some time in their lives, a stiff rod called a notochord lying above the gut and beneath a single, hollow dorsal nerve cord Cold-blooded, have scaly skin, breathe air with lungs and lay eggs. Includes all turtles and tortoises Sea turtles which have shells covered with horny plates Have four legs and a tough shell Greek- mydos (wetness, dampness) refers to its aquatic habitat
