Early classification
• Aristotle grouped everything intosimple groups such as animals or plants
• He then grouped animals according to if they had blood or didn’t have blood, and if they had live young or laid eggs, and so on…
Binomial Nomenclature
• Developed by Carolus Linnaeus
• Swedish Biologist 1700’s
• Two-name system
• Genus and species named using Latin or Greek words
Mnemonic Device• Create and Illustrate a Mneumonic Device for the 7 levels of
classification– Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order Family Genus Species
• Kings Play Chess On Fine Grain Sand-Your Mneumonic Device should be:1. Titled “Linnaeus Taxonomic Classification System Mnemonic
Device2. School Appropriate (I will be displaying these around the room)3. Colored4. Creative (Do not just settle on the first one you can think of, this
step should take time)5. Your Drawing should be detailed and it should show a scene of
your sentence (I understand that we are not all artist, but this is where Effort plays a huge role!)

GenusSpecies
Step 2: Choose one of the following organisms.- Lion- Palm Tree- E. coli bacteria- Humpback Whale- Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake- Honey Bee
Step 3: Copy the classification of your organism into the pyramid you drew. Ex. Kingdom (Animalia)
Step 4: Draw and color your organism and outline your pyramid in a color of your choice. These will be displayed around the classroom.
