  1. CLASSIFICATION What does the word classify mean? • 1. Classify -

  2. Why do Scientists Classify? __________________________________ _______________! Need to keep organized! (Easier to study!) ...just like we need to keep grocery stores organized so that it is easier to shop!

  3. Why do Scientists Classify? • Taxonomy =________________________________________________________. Useful because: ____________________________________________________________________.

  4. WHAT’S IN A NAME? • Scientists have a system for naming all the living organisms on earth. • The system was________________ • __________________________. • Developed__________________. • Linnaeus designed Bi = Nomial =

  5. Binomial nomenclature: _________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.

  6. Linneaus’_________________________ Each species of a living thing is given a________ _______. EX: Just like your first and last name First Name (______) • Tells______________________________________________. __________(_______) • Tells______________________________ • ________________________________.

  7. Linneaus’ System of Scientific Names • Example:Scientific Name for a dog _________________ • Scientific Name for a Timber Wolf _________________ • Scientific Name for a Coyote _________________ • Notice that the word __________ is used in all of these names. _______________________________. • ___________________________________________. • _____________________________________________.

  9. Now that you know the three rules of writing scientific names, let's try one: Common Name: Genus: (Derived from the Latin word Hominid, meaning “man”) Species: (The Latin word for “wise”) Scientific name: _________________.

  18. ORDER EXAMPLES In class Mammalia, there are 13 total orders that make up about 5,000 species. Getting closer! Order Metatheria- _________________ (development completed in a pouch). Order _______________- This is where the carnivorous mammals belong such as raccoons. Order Chiroptera- Chiro=hand, ptera= wing. Mammals that use_____________________. Order Rodentia: mammals with __________ __________________________. Order Primates- mammals that have _________________________________________.

  19. FAMILIES WITHIN THE PRIMATE ORDER The primate order consists of 10 families and approximately 350 species. Hominidae (___ species)- Latin word meaning _______________. Pongidae (28 species)- ______________. Cebidae (46 species)______________. Cercopithicidae (48 species)- Old world monkeys Lemuridae (____ species) The large lemurs, the Latin word Lemur means “___________.” Chosen for their ghostly faces and (for some) nocturnal habits.
