Classification Vocabulary Bilateral Symmetry – If you divide something in half (have a left and right side), the sides are “mirror images.” (Most animals have bilateral symmetry). Classification – To put things into groups of some kind. It is usually done based on some type of similarities. Classification Key – A device used to identify what group an organism or object is in. Most use a two choice system where you answer yes or no to each question to arrive at the correct group.

Kingdoms. The first rank in this system is called a kingdom. There are five kingdoms, based upon what an organism's cells are like: 1  animalia (all multicellular animals). 2  plantae (all green plants). 3  fungi (moulds, mushrooms, yeast). 4  prokaryotae (bacteria, blue-green algae). 5  protoctista (Amoeba, Paramecium).

The dwarf gecko (Sphaerodactylus ariasae) and the Virgin Islands dwarf sphaero (S. parthenopion), two geckos in the genus Sphaerodactylus, are the world's smallest known reptile species and smallest lizard, with a snout-vent length of 16 millimetres (0.63 in).

The smallest known dinosaur (excluding modern birds) is Anchiornis, a genus of feathered dinosaur that lived in what is now China during the Late Jurassic Period 160 to 155 million years ago.

Every organism can be classified at 7 different levels-kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species. Each level contains organisms with similar characteristics. The kingdom is the largest group and very broad. Each successive group contains fewer organisms, but the organisms are more similar. The species is the smallest group and is very narrow. Organisms within a species are able to mate and produce fertile offspring. The following chart traces the classification of a grizzly bear through each of the 7 levels of classification. At each level, be aware of the characteristics the different organisms share.

The world's smallest turtle is the speckled padloper tortoise (Homopus signatus) from South Africa. The males measure 6–8 cm (2.4–3.1 in), while females measure up to almost 10 cm (3.9 in).

The smallest organisms found on Earth can be determined according to various aspects of organism size; including volume, mass, height, length, or genome size.

Scientists divide or classify things into three major groups. These groups are: living, nonliving, and once living. Living things are objects that can pass on genetic information through reproduction. The term once-living is a term that refers to things that were at one point part of a living thing. See how well you understand this.

Classification. You will remember from your Key Stage 3 studies that species with similar characteristics are put into groups, and that this is called classification. Remind yourself of the basics of classification.
