Classification
What is classification?– Organising living things into groups:
• Anatomy• Genetics
Horseshoe crab
Anatomically - looks like a crab
Genetically - more closely related to spiders

Why classify organisms?

Why classify organisms?• Helps others understand which species you are talking
about• Can group species based on shared characteristics• To study phylogeny – how related species are
Emperor penguin - BIRD Dusky dolphin - MAMMAL

• Linnaean classification– Genus and species, e.g. Homo sapiens
Panthera leo Panthera tigris
Classification
![Page 6: Classification. What is classification? –Organising living things into groups: Anatomy Genetics Horseshoe crab Anatomically - looks like a crab Genetically.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649ce15503460f949ac9ba/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Genus and species are the tip of the iceberg
• There are many different levels in the classification hierarchy
• Top level is the 5 Kingdoms:
– Protists (e.g. amoebae, algae)– Prokaryotes (e.g. bacteria, archaebacteria)– Fungi – Plants– Animals
Classification

• ~ 1.26 million animal species
• Vertebrates and invertebrates
• ~ 1.2 million are invertebrates
(e.g. insects, crustaceans)
• ~ 60,000 are vertebrates
Kingdom Animalia
Great white shark VERTEBRATE
Monarch butterfly INVERTEBRATE
Classification

INVERTEBRATES• No spinal column (also called backbone)• No internal skeleton
VERTEBRATES• Have a spinal column• Have an internal skeleton
Vertebrates are divided into five groups:• Fish• Amphibians• Reptiles• Birds• Mammals
Seven-spot ladybird INVERTEBRATE
Purple frog VERTEBRATE

• Produce milk from mammary glands to feed young
• Maintain constant body temperature (warm-blooded)
• Covering of hair
• Give birth to live young
Mammals
The Vertebrates

• Maintain a constant body temperature (warm-blooded)
• Reproduce by laying eggs
• Have feathers
• Most can fly
• Have a beak
Birds
The Vertebrates
![Page 11: Classification. What is classification? –Organising living things into groups: Anatomy Genetics Horseshoe crab Anatomically - looks like a crab Genetically.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649ce15503460f949ac9ba/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Don’t regulate body temperature (cold-blooded)
• Tough scaly skin
• Most lay eggs with leathery
shells
Reptiles
The Vertebrates
![Page 12: Classification. What is classification? –Organising living things into groups: Anatomy Genetics Horseshoe crab Anatomically - looks like a crab Genetically.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649ce15503460f949ac9ba/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Don’t regulate body temperature (cold-blooded)
• Lay eggs in water
• Life cycle involves transformation from aquatic larvae to terrestrial adult
• Can respire through porous skin
Amphibians
The Vertebrates
![Page 13: Classification. What is classification? –Organising living things into groups: Anatomy Genetics Horseshoe crab Anatomically - looks like a crab Genetically.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649ce15503460f949ac9ba/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• A collection of four distantly related groups
• Breathe underwater using internal gills for gas exchange
• Body covered with scales
• Most don’t regulate body temperature (cold-blooded)
Fish
The Vertebrates

Activity 1: Guess Zoo• Get into groups of 6 - 8
• Take a species card - DO NOT LOOK AT IT!
• Hold the card on your head for the rest of your group to see
• Take turns to ask Yes or No Questions to work out which animal you are
• Ask questions based on classification – e.g. do I have cold blood?
Note: Asking if you are a mammal, bird, reptile, amphibian or fish is against the rules!
Vertebrates

Activity 2: Insect classification
All insects have:• An external skeleton• A body split into three segments – head, thorax and abdomen• Six jointed legs, one pair on each body segment• Antennae
Invertebrates
Insects are probably the most successful of all invertebrates.

Activity 2: Insect classification
Most insects have:• 2 or 4 wings for all or part of their life• Compound eyes
Invertebrates
![Page 17: Classification. What is classification? –Organising living things into groups: Anatomy Genetics Horseshoe crab Anatomically - looks like a crab Genetically.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649ce15503460f949ac9ba/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Activity 2: Insect classification
1. Use a computer to research the following insect orders:
Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, Diptera, Odonata
2. Using www.ARKive.org for inspiration, draw a typical species of 1 or 2 of these groups on A3 paper
3. Label the diagram with the defining features of the insect order it belongs to
Invertebrates

Orthoptera - Grasshoppers and crickets
Incomplete metamorphosis
Stridulation – rubbing wings/legs/abdomen to create sound
Wings folded over abdomen
Ears in legs or abdomen
Large eyes

Discussion questions
• Why do we classify organisms?
• What are the defining characteristics of mammals?
• What are the defining characteristics of insects?
