Scientists classify based on
observable properties called
structures.
 Classification is the
arrangement of organisms into
orderly groups based on their
similarities and structures.
 What structures would you use
to group these organisms into
three groups? (Remember to
base your decision on
structures not on what the
organism does.)
 Scientists classify objects
many different ways. Now that
you have grouped these
organisms one way, figure out
another way to put them into 3
different groups.

Scientists classify based on

Nonliving
Nonliving
One property that scientists classify by is
whether or not the object is living/once
living or nonliving.
In order to be considered living, the object
must be able to do all six things listed
below:
– 1. All living things have one or more cells.
– 2. All living things have DNA (instructions
for life) in their cells.
– 3. All living things grow and develop.
– 4. All living things use metabolism
(energy).
– 5. All living things respond to stimuli.
– 6. All living things reproduce.
Using the six characteristics of living
things decide whether or not the objects
are living/once living or nonliving. Press

Scientists classify based on
observable properties called
structures.
 In order to recognize
structures it is
important to have good
observation skills.
 Test your observation
skills by finding all 7
dolphins in the picture.
 What structures did the
artist use to draw the
dolphins?

Scientists use classification systems
to identify organisms.
 Classification systems have helped us gain
scientific knowledge.
– 2000 years ago Aristotle classified organisms into four
groups.



Animals that fly
Animals that walk
Animals that swim
Plants
Which group would you place a duck?

Scientists use classification systems
to identify organisms.
 There were many problems with Aristotle’s
system. Many organisms fit into more than one
group like a duck. Some organisms didn’t fit into
any group like a garden snake.
 Aristotle’s system was not based on structures. It
was based on what an organism could do not what
characteristics made it up.
 As scientists identified more organisms and
developed new technology, they needed a better
classification system.

Scientists use classification systems

 Carolus Linnaeus developed a classification
system based on an organism’s characteristics.
– Learn about Linnaeus by clicking on the
internet link below.
http://www.answers.com/topic/caroluslinnaeus
 This classification system consists of 7 levels.
The most general level is where organisms
have the least in common. The most specific
level is where organisms can produce fertile
offspring. The science of classifying organisms
into their levels is called taxonomy.
10
Scientists use classification systems
to identify organisms.
 7 levels of classification
– Kingdom
The most general level. Organisms that
share the same kingdoms have the least in common
with each other.
– Phylum
– Class
– Order
– Family
– Genus
– Species
The most specific level. Organisms that
share this level have the most in common. They can
produce fertile offspring.
– A mnemonic device to remember the 7 levels is, “Kings
11
play chess on fine grained sand.”
Scientists use classification systems
to identify organisms.
 There are six kingdoms
1. Animalia Are multicellular, have eukaryotic cells, have nervous
systems,and are consumers. Examples: insects, fish, humans
2. Plantae Are multicellular, have eukaryotic cells, and are producers
because they make their own food. Examples: Sunflower, Oak
tree,
3. Fungi Are multicellular, have eukaryotic cells, and are
decomposers. Examples: Mushroom, yeast
4. Protista This is the kingdom where organisms are put that share
characteristics from more than one of the other kingdoms. They are
multicellular or unicellular but they must be eukaryotic. Examples:
euglena (unicellular), kelp (multicellular)
5. Eubacteria Are free living bacteria that are unicellular and
prokaryotic. Some types of this bacteria can live in humans.
Examples: e-coli, staph
6. Archaebacteria Are ancient bacteria that are unicellular and
prokaryotic. They can live in extreme environments like salt and hot
pots. Scientists believe that these are the first living organisms on
Earth. Examples: Salt loving bacteria and methane loving bacteria.

 Classification is a tool used to describe
patterns in nature.

15
Scientists use classification systems
to identify organisms.
 Scientists give every organism a scientific name. This
name has two parts; the genus name and the species
name. Giving organisms two names is called binomial
nomenclature.
– Tyrannosaurus rex is an example of a scientific name.
Tyrannosaurus is the genus level and Rex is the species level.
 Using scientific names prevents confusion. An organism
may have several common names. Giving it one scientific
name helps scientists know exactly what organism is being
described no matter where they live.
 When writing a scientific name always capitalize the genus
level and underline the name. If you are typing it instead of
writing it, italicize the name.
– Homo sapien (human)
– Felis domesticus (cat)
Homo = genus sapien = species
Felis = genus domesticus = species
16
Classify organisms using an orderly
pattern based on structure.
 Identify organisms that are not plant or animal.
– Remember in order to be a plant the organism must
be multicellular, eukaryotic, and produce its own
food.
– Remember to be an animal the organism must be
multicellular, eukaryotic, have a nervous system, and
be a consumer.

Because of their structures, most animals get divided into two groups (phyla). Adult vertebrates have a spinal
column, or backbone, running the length of the body; invertebrates do not. Vertebrates are often larger and
have more complex bodies than invertebrates. However, there are many more invertebrates than vertebrates.
Classes of vertebrates
– Fish breathe through gills, and live in water; most are cold-blooded and lay eggs (although sharks give birth to
live young).
– Amphibians are cold-blooded and live both on land (breathing with lungs) and in water (breathing through gills) at
different times.
– Reptiles are cold-blooded and breathe with lungs. They have scales, and most lay eggs. Reptiles include snakes,
turtles and tortoises, crocodiles and alligators, and lizards.
– Birds are warm-blooded animals with feathers and wings. They lay eggs, and most can fly (although many,
including penguins and ostriches, cannot).
– Mammals are warm-blooded, and are nourished by their mothers' milk; most are born live (however, the platypus
lays eggs). Most mammals also have body hair.
Classes of Invertebrates
– Sponges are the most primitive of animal groups. They live in water (usually saltwater), do not move from place
to place, and filter tiny organisms out of the water for food.
– Coelenterates are also very primitive. Their mouths, which take in food and get rid of waste, are surrounded by
stinging tentacles. Some coelenterates are jellyfish, corals, and sea anemones.
– Echinoderms include starfish, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers.
– Worms come in many varieties and live in all sorts of habitats.
– Mollusks are soft-bodied animals, which often live in hard shells. They include snails, slugs, octopus, and squid.
– Arthropods include insects, arachnids (spiders and their relatives), centipedes, millipedes, and crustaceans like
crabs, lobsters, and shrimp.
