or in a particular habitat or
ecosystem.

describing , naming and
classifying living things
Activity

Lets have Fun with Living Things!
 Rules

You are given 3 minutes for this activity
Assign who in the group will be the
leader/reporters, recorder, and performers
Each group will be given 20 pictures of
different living things, a piece of manila
paper, strips of papers and markers.
The group is tasked to classify the living
things into different categories (e.g.
animals living underwater)
 Rules

The group will then write the categories
on the manila paper and underneath
the categories, they will attach the
organisms belonging to that category
Limit the categories to 7.
Each group will then present to the
whole class the result of their
groupings.

What do you think is the
importance of classifying living
things?
The Linnaean System
of Classification

Carolus von
Linnaeus
(1707-1778)
Swedish
botanist
Introduced a
system of
classifying
living things
Carolus von
Linnaeus
He classified
things using
structural
similarity as
basis
Carolus von
Linnaeus
Two features:
classification
of living things
by levels
Binomial
nomenclature
(scientific
name)
Different Levels (Taxa) of
Classification

Different Levels (Taxa) of

Each category or level is
called a taxon (plural=
taxa)

Contains true nucleus in their cells

used by female in feeding its young

 Review

Taxonomy is the science that deals with
describing , naming and classifying living
things.
Carolus von Linnaeus is a Swedish botanist
who introduced a system of classifying living
things.
He classified organisms using structural
similarity
The different taxa are Domain, Kingdom,
Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus and
Species

 Assignment

Using the library or online
database references, give the
levels of classification of a frog,
milkfish and a monkey-eating
eagle.
