Bell work
What does the word classify or
classification mean? Think about the
different ways humans classify
things. Can objects or ideas belong in
more than one group at the same time?
Record your responses on your bell work
sheet, you start a new one.
Objective
• Standards: Life 1 – How do I use a
classification key to identify an unknown
organism?
• Objectives: For students to understand and
recognize why classification is important
and how to use different classification keys
Identify and Classify
• Each group will be given a bag of different objects
your task is to classify the different objects.
• It is up to you how you classify them. You will
have 3 mins to do this. Then we will share how
and why we classified our objects.
• Think about while you are doing this task: How do
we classify things in science, math, in your
everyday life. Why is it important to classify
things?
Classification and Dichotomous
Keys
Classification
• Classification: the division of organisms into
groups, or classes, based on specific
characteristics.
• Scientists classify organisms to help make sense
and order of the many kinds of living things in the
world.
• Before the 1600’s scientists divided organisms
into two groups: Plants and Animals.
Taxonomy
• Taxonomy: the science of describing,
naming, and classifying organisms.
• Taxonomists use an 8-level system to
classify living things based on shared
characteristics.
• Did King Phillip Come Over For Grape Soda?
Branching Diagram
• Shows relationships among various
biological species or other entities based
upon similarities and differences in their
physical or genetic characters.

Scientific Names
• Before Linnaeus simplified the naming of living
things, they could have had a name that was 12
words long.
• Two-Part name: Felis domesticus (common house
cat) 1st part of the name Felisis the genus name.
The 2nd part domesticus is the specific name.
• Naming rules help scientists communicate clearly
about living things.
Rules of Names
• All Genus names begin with a capital letter
“Felis”
• All specific names begin with a lowercase
letter “domesticus”
• Usually both words are underlined or
italized.
• Scientific names are usually in Latin or
Greek and contain info about the organism.

9/18
• Felius leo is the scientific name of a lion.
The 1st part of the scientific name is Felius,
which is the _________ name. The 2nd part
of the scientific name is leo, which is the
_________ name.
• Answers:
• 1st part genus name
• 2nd part specific or species name.
Dichotomous Key
• An aid that is used to identify organisms and that
consists of the answers to a series of questions.
• Using a D.K.: there are only two alternative
responses for each statement. From each pair of
statements, choose the statement that describes the
organism or is directed to another statement, until
the organism is identified.
Dichotomous Key
Bell Work
• Identify all the fish on the side board with their
correct scientific names.
• Have out your dichotomous key from yesterday:
One you created or one I gave you.
• Answers: 1. Fishus zigzaggus
• 2. Fishus finnus
• 3. Fishus stripus
• 4. Fishus forkus
• 5. Fishus tinyus
• 6. Fishus spottus
Levels of Classification
• Every living thing is classified into 1 of 3
Domains: Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya
• Then sorted into kingdoms, phylum, class,
order, family , genus, and then species.
The Domain Archaea
(traditional Kingdom Archaebacteria)
• Archaea is one of the three
major divisions (domains).
• Once thought to be bacteria.
• Single-celled organisms
• One of two kinds of prokaryotes which
• means they do not have a nucleus.
• Most live in extreme environments like the hot
springs of Yellowstone because of their tough outer
cell wall and protective enzymes.
• Archaea have been around at least 3 billion years
and scientists believe they are very closely related to
some of Earth’s earliest life forms.
The Domain Bacteria
• Bacteria prokaryotic (no nucleus).
• Bacteria are single-celled.
• Bacteria can be found everywhere…in soil, water,
and even on and inside the human body. For
example, E coli is present in the human intestines
where it produces vitamin K. Another kind of bacteria
converts milk into yogurt.
• Some bacteria cause diseases (pneumonia) while
others make chemicals that help fight disease.
The Domain Eukarya
The Kingdom Protista
Members of the kingdom Protista commonly
called protists, are single-celled or simple
multicelluar organisms.
They are eukaryotic (have a nucleus).
Protista contains many kinds of organisms,
including protozoans, algae (plant-like),
slime/molds (animal-like), and euglenoids.
The Domain Eukarya, continued
The Kingdom Fungi
They are multicellular.
Fungi do not perform photosynthesis or eat food.
Instead, fungi break down surrounding stuff with
digestive juices and absorb the nutrients.
Molds and mushrooms are examples of the complex,
multicelluar members of the kingdom Fungi.
The Domain Eukarya, continued
The Kingdom Plantae
Consists of complex multicellular organisms.
They are eukaryotic (have a nucleus).
They have cell walls.
They make food through photosynthesis.
Trees, grass, and flowers are just some
examples of plants in kingdom Plantae.
The Kingdom Animalia
The Domain Eukarya (continued)
The kingdom Animalia contains complex,
multicellular organisms that don’t have cell walls.
Most able to move around and have specialized
sense organs. However, an exception is the
sponge, a simple animal that cannot move.
Examples include ants, beetles, lizards, fish,
birds, apes, elephants, and more.
