7. Taxonomy: Classifying Life
6-Taxonomy is the “classification of living organism”.
7-Scientists all around the world use the same language to classify living organism.
8- They use the same names and categories. Ex: vertebrate and invertebrate.

Kingdoms
Phyla
Classes
Orders
Families
Genera
Species

9. Example

10. Six Kingdoms 11-Animals (tiger, humans) 12-Plants (trees)
13-Fungi (mushrooms)
14-Protists (unicellular organisms, plankton)
15-Bacteria ( cholera, germs…)
16-Archeans (microorganism)

11. Animals

17. The Animal Kingdom 17-They do not produce their own food

19-They can usually move on their own
20- 2 Categories:
