Classification

The Classification is system is set up so living organisms can be grouped according to their similarities and separated according to the differences.

The classification tree is the system setup to do this. I can be seen below:
> Kingdom
> Phylum
> Class
> Order
> Family
> Genus
> Species

How do we remember this order? Here are two acronyms to help;

King
Phillip
Can
Only
Find his
Green
slippers

OR

King
Phillip
Came
Over
For
Good
spaghetti

Every Living thing has a common name (the name we call them on a daily basis)as well as a scientific name (the name used formally by scientists)

How do we write the scientific name of organisms?

The scientific name of an organism is obtained from its genus and species category.
Whenever writing the scientific name of an organism, it is proper to capitalize the first letter in the genus and put all of the species in lowercase. Additionally, the entire term would be italicized (if typed) or underlined (if hand-written).

here is an example: people are reffed to commonly as humans but the scientific name is Homo sapiens

There is a 5 kingdom system (YES 5) that is used to group or classify all living things. It includes:
1. Viruses
2. Bacteria
3. Protoctist/Protists
4. Fungi
5. Animalia/Animals
6. Plantae/Plants

PS. I know you counted 6 kingdoms above, however, viruses are not classified among living organisms because it is made up of particles and not cells.

Check out this youtube video it will show organism in each kingdom as they move
