1750 • Grouped living things into “kingdoms” • Grouped things by their physical traits • Gave all living things a two-part name…binomial nomenclature. • “two-term name”

Each KINGDOM is further classified into more specific groups, much like addresses are organized into smaller categories. Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species Country State County Town Neighborhood Street House Number

Questions What traits were used by Aristotle to classify animals? Why is this considered a poor method by today’s standards? Name the major classification groups, from largest to smallest? What is binomial nomenclature? Why is it used (i. e. why use Latin names? ) What are the five kingdoms? Are humans more closely related to a mouse or a chicken? Explain. List two ways how plants and animals are different and similar. What characteristic is exclusive to bacteria? If you discovered an organism with a cell wall, which kingdom would you know it does NOT belong to? If you discovered animal that closely resembled a human, what Class and Order would it likely belong? Which is the largest group? Order, Genus, or Family.
