How can we organize and understand the living world? Classic Classification

Scientists classify organisms according to a specific guideline established by Linnaeus. This classification system is used to organize species into workable groups of living things that are similar in many ways. This lesson focuses on the methods of classification and the characteristics of animals in the five vertebrate classes.

Student Expectations: Demonstrate an understanding of scientific classification; identify characteristics suitable for use in scientific classification; identify and classify animals from the five vertebrate classes; understand the difference between vertebrates and invertebrates.
