WHO WAS CAROLUS LINNAEUS? Swedish scientist who developed the classification system we use today. Grouped organisms according to similarities in form. Developed a simple naming system.

BINOMIAL NOMENCLATURE Each kind of organism is given its own 2-part scientific name. GENUS, species For example, a honey bee = Apis mellifera

All living things are classified into 7 major groups: Look at the classification of the lion on page 22 in your textbook.

1.KINGDOM –Largest and most general group 2.PHYLUM –2nd largest group; includes a large number of very different organisms

3.CLASS –3rd largest group 4.ORDER –4th largest group 5.FAMILY –Contains a number of closely related organisms

6.GENUS –2nd smallest group that consists of a number of closely related species 7.SPECIES –Smallest and most specific group of organisms
