Classification of Species Ka Hana ‘Imi Na‘auao – A Science Careers Curriculum Resource Go to: www.cds.hawaii.edu/kahana
Classification Rules • All organisms have 7 names describing them. • But only the last 2 names are the scientific name. • Just like you! Your first name and your last name.
Classification Rules • Scientific name: Homo sapien • All scientific names are italic or underlined, NOT bold. • The first name is capitalized, the second name is lower case. • Names are in Latin… why??
Carolus Linnaeus • The father of taxonomy, also known as Carl von Linné, used Latin to begin our modern classification system because in the 1700s most educated people understood it. • Linnaeus, a botanist, physician and zoologist, also is considered the father of ecology.
Classification Hierarchy Kingdom Most Broad Phylum Class Order Scientific Name Family Genus Species Most Specific
Scientific Names are Unique • No two organisms share the same name, unless they are the same thing. • The genus name is like your last name. Several people belong to your family. • The species name is like your first name. You are a specific person in your family.
Kingdoms • Two bacteria kingdoms • Kingdom Archaebacteria - loves extreme environments (say: ARK-ee-bak-TIR-ee-ah) • Kingdom Eubacteria - loves to live on your food and your skin (say: YOO-bak-TIR-ee-ah) • Oldest known forms of life.
Kingdoms • Kingdom Protista (say: PRO-tis-tah) • Has characteristics of all kingdoms. • They do not fit the criteria for any one kingdom, so they have their own.
Kingdoms • Kingdom Fungi (say: FUNG-guy) • Mushrooms, molds, spores • Though they look like plants, they have no true root system and cannot make their own food.
Kingdoms • Kingdom Plantae (say: PLAN-tee in US, PLAN-tay in UK) • Includes all land plants. • All organisms make food from the sun, and have roots.
Kingdoms • Kingdom Animalia (say: AN-i-mahl-ya in US or an-i-MAY-lee-ah in UK) • Largest kingdom. • Coral, worms, jellyfish, spiders, starfish, crabs, clams, fish, dogs, lions, snakes, monkeys, bats, humans, etc. • All organisms need to consume something to survive.
Classification Hierarchy Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species
Classification Hierarchy Kingdom: Animalia What organism is this? Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Carnivora Family: Felidae (say FEL-uh-die in US, FEL-uh-day in UK) Genus: Lynx Scientific Name: Lynx rufus Species: rufus Common Name: Bobcat
Do I Use Scientific Names? You use it all the time and probably don’t even know it! Why is this organism called a K-9? Family: Canidae Genus: Canis What is this called? Ford F-150 Genus: Ford Species: F-150
