organisms.

How to Organize?Aristotle (384-322 B.C.E.)
Plants Animals Trees Land Shrubs Air Herbs Water
Problem: Birds, bats, and insects were
grouped together

Classification based on physical and structural similarities
• Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778)• Created binomial nomenclature (2 word naming
system)• 1st word = Genus (genera if plural) = a group of
similar species• 2nd word = species • Scientific name = Genus + species e.g. Homo sapiens

Rules for writing species names
1.Latin is the language of scientific names (Latin is no longer spoken, so it does not change)
2.Italicize in print and underline when hand written
3.1st letter of the Genus is CAPITALIZED & 1st letter of species is lowercase

Canis lupus = Grey wolf
