Binomial System of Nomenclature
• System of classifying organisms based on two (“bi”), names (“nomial”), which are organized in a system (“nomenclature”)
• Ex: we are Homo sapiens– First word capitalized (refers to the genus)– Second word not capitalized (refers to the species)– Both words italicized when typed or underlined when
handwritten – Typically words are Latin or Greek

• This binomial nomenclature system for naming and organizing species was popularized by Carolus (Carl) Linnaeus
• Why should we organize organisms like this?– Helps make sense of the biosphere– Helps show evolutionary links– Helps predict characteristics shared
by many members of a group– Keeps consistency between
scientists of various areas, languages, cultures

The Seven Taxa• The correct order for classifying organisms is
Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species
– Create a mnemonic device and write it in your notes so you can correctly remember the order

Dichotomous Key
• A key or flowchart that is used by answering questions as yes or no in order to determine which order, genus, or species an organism belongs to

Homework:Our next assignment will be whiteboarding different
plant and animal classifications and then sharing with the class. Your homework will be to take an
organism within one of the classifications and create a dichotomous key for that organism. Your
key must contain no fewer than 8 organisms. Dichotomous key due next class.

Whiteboarding Assignment• With your assigned partner, whiteboard some
simple external recognition features so that we can distinguish between the 10 different phyla.
Bryophyta Filicinophyta Coniferophyta Angiospermophyta
Porifera Cnidaria Platyhelminthes Annelida
Mollusca Arthropoda
