To help understand living things, scientists break them down into groups by their traits. This is called biological classification. Presently, there are eight levels of groups: Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. New discoveries in genetics may cause some regrouping of organisms and their classification over time. The three Domains ( Archaea, Eubacteria and Eukaryota) are the highest level of classification to date. They include all known living things on Earth. The Eubacteria Domain is made up of bacteria, which are single-celled living things also known as microorganisms. They are prokaryotes, lacking cell nuclei and organelles. Bacteria are found everywhere on Earth, from the soil under our feet to inside our bodies. They can cause many human illnesses, but are also vital to life on Earth. The study of microorganisms is called microbiology. The Archaea Domain also has single-celled microorganisms (prokaryotes); however, archeons can survive extreme conditions like scalding hotsprings and very salty areas. A relatively recent discovery, this domain is still being studied and updated. The Eukaryota Domain has more complex organisms with cells that have a nucleus and organelles. They are eukaryotes. This domain is currently divided into four Kingdoms: Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia. The Protista Kingdom is a diverse group, including plant-like algae, animal-like protozoans and fungi-like slime molds. The Fungi Kingdom includes mushrooms, yeasts and molds. They are important detritivores, which break down dead organisms and recycle nutrients back into the environment. They can also cause problems when they invade an organism as a fungal infection, like athlete’s foot. They are extremely important to humans, as the source of penicillin, which kills bacteria, and the source of yeast, which drives useful processes like fermentation and rising bread. The Plant Kingdom includes trees, shrubs, flowers, grasses, ferns and mosses. This group is essential to all life on Earth, because they can make their own food using sunlight through the process of photosynthesis. Plants are the primary producers which feed all animal life, including us. They also absorb carbon dioxide and produce life-giving oxygen. The Animal Kingdom includes nine groups or Phyla (plural of phylum): Annelida - segmented worms Nematoda - round worms Platyhelminthes - flat worms Arthropoda - insects, spiders Porifera - sponges Cnidaria - coral, jellyfish Echinodermata - starfish, sea urchins Mollusca - snails, slugs, clams, squid, octopi Chordata - mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, amphibians Classification of Living Things

Classification of the Animal Kingdom is broken down into nine groups or Phyla: 1) Annelida: segmented worms, 2) Nematoda: round worms, 3) Platyhelminthes: flat worms, 4) Arthropoda: insects, spiders, crabs and lobsters, barnacles, horseshoe crabs, centipedes, millipedes, 5) Porifera: sponges, 6) Echinodermata: starfish, sea urchins and sand dollars, 7) Cnidaria: jellyfish, coral and sea anemones, 8) Mollusca: snails and slugs, clams and oysters, octopi and squid, and 9) Chordata: mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, amphibians, sharks and rays. Each Phyla is, in turn, broken down into many Classes and each Class into Orders. Each Order is broken down into Families, then Genus and Species. The Animal Kingdom chart below shows the nine animal Phyla with special attention to the Phylum Chordata and its Subphylum Vertebrata - animals with backbones. (Subphyla are smaller groups below Phyla sorting out the complex Phyla.) Vertebrata includes animals with backbones. From the Phylum Chordata down, each level only shows the most well-known groups. To identify one living thing, you use its Genus name and its Species name. For instance, the gray wolf is Canis lupus. Canis is its Genus and lupus is its Species. Note that the Genus name is always capitalized, but the Species name is not. Follow the classification line for the wolf below: Phylum - Chordata, Subphylum - Vertebrata, Class - Mammal, Order - Carnivora, Family - Canidae, Genus - Canis, Species - Lupus. To help remember the classification order, people use a funny saying: King Phillip Came Over From Germany Saturday. Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus and Species.

Mammals - Class Mammalia
Amphibians - Class Amphibia Animals in the Class Amphibia all share some common traits. 1) They lay their eggs in water. 2) Newly hatched young breathe through gills. 3) As amphibians grow, their body changes, growing legs and developing lungs for life on land. 4) As adults, most amphibans are never far from water where they return in the spring to mate and lay eggs. 5) Amphibians are cold-blooded. In cold climates they spend the winter months in a deep sleep, called torpor, buried in the mud or leaf litter. The Class Amphibia is broken down into three groups called Orders: 1) Salamanders and Newts keep their tails as adults and grow legs made for walking. All four of their legs are about the same size. 2) Frogs and Toads change completely as they grow from tadpoles to adults, losing their tail and growing legs. Their back legs are designed for jumping and are bigger than their front legs. 3) Gymnophiona are worm-like amphibians with no legs. They live in tropical climates and are not found in North America. North American wetlands are home for many amphibian species, including Salamanders and Newts and Frogs and Toads.

Reptiles - Class Reptilia Animals in the Class Reptilia include turtles, snakes, alligators and lizards. All reptiles share the following physical traits: 1) They lay eggs on land. A leathery shell protects the eggs from drying out. 2) They are covered with tough, dry skin and protective scales or plates. 3) They are cold-blooded. 4) Their teeth are about the same shape and size throughout their mouth. The Class Reptilia is broken down into four groups called Orders: Crocodiles (1), caimans, alligators (2) and gharials have long, flattened heads and bodies with legs coming off the sides, tough body armor made of scales, and a long, powerful tail. Their eyes and nostrils sit on top of their head, allowing them to stalk prey while being almost completely hidden under the water. Turtles, terrapins, sliders and tortoises vary in shape, size and habitat, from desert tortoises (3) to wetland painted (4) and snapping turtles (5) to ocean sea turtles (6). They all have one thing in common - a shell. This amazing structure is fused to the backbone and ribcage, surrounding and protecting the vital organs. Lizards and snakes are broken down into two Suborders. They have scale-like skin and a moveable upper jaw that lets them open their mouths very wide for big prey. a. Lizards differ from snakes in two ways – they have legs and ears. They vary in size, from tiny anoles (7) to the massive komodo dragon (8), with lizards (9) and chameleons (10) all sizes in between. b. Snakes have elongated bodies and no legs, eyelids or external ears. They include rattlesnakes (11), vipers (12), cobras (13), garter (14) and milk snakes (15), and many other families. Tuataras (16) are lizard-like animals only found in New Zealand and the surrounding islands. They have a double row of teeth on their upper jaw. 4 1 3 5 8 9 6 7 10 11 13 12 16 15 14 2

Insects are in the Class Insecta which is broken down into about 30 groups or Orders. True insects all share some traits that can be seen when they are adults. They have three body parts (head, thorax and abdomen), one pair of antennae, two pairs of wings and three pairs of legs. They often have large, compound eyes and mouth parts that bite, suck, pierce, sip or rasp. There are more than 900,000 known species so far, making them the majority of animal species on Earth. Insects grow up in one of two ways. Some undergo incomplete metamorphosis. This is when the young hatch and look like miniature adults, called nymphs. As they grow, they shed their hard outer layer called an exoskeleton. Each new size is called an instar. Insects like grasshoppers and crickets grow this way. Most insects, however, go through a complete metamorphosis. This is when the new hatchlings, called larvae, look completely different from the adults. They feed until they reach a certain size and then form a protective cocoon or chrysalis and begin to change or pupate. During pupation their bodies break down and change into their adult forms. Insects like moths and butterflies grow this way. Their pupae are called caterpillars. The classification of insects is: Kingdom - Animalia, Phylum - Arthropoda, Subphylum - Crustacean, Class - Insecta, Orders (10 common): Insects - Class Insecta 1) Coleoptera (Beetles) 2) Dermaptera (Earwigs) 3) Dictyoptera (Mantids and Cockroaches) 4) Diptera (True Flies) 5) Ephemeroptera (Mayflies) 6) Hymenoptera (Bees, Wasps, Ants) 7) Lepidoptera (Butterflies and Moths) 8) Odonata (Dragonflies and Damselflies) 9) Orthoptera (Grasshoppers, Katydids and Crickets) 10) Phasmida (Stick Insects) 4 1 3 5 10 6 7 2 6 1 7 7 6 9 9 9 8 8 1 4
