4.4.4.4 In studies of evolution it is essential to be able to identify and classify living things. Traditionally living things have been classified into groups depending on their structure and characteristics. Organisms are named by the binomial system of genus and species. As evidence of internal structures became more developed due to improvements in microscopes and progress with the understanding of biochemical processes, new models of classification have been proposed. Modern classifications systems are based on theories about evolution developed from analysis of differences in DNA molecules. Classify organisms based on their similarities. Describe classification using: Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species. Explain the importance of the binomial system to name organisms. Explain how modern technologies have affected how organisms are classified today. 1 Discuss classifying; anything from cars to cosmetics. Why do we do it? Do we only classify physical objects? Exhibition of organisms to classify, use post-it notes to explain groupings – observe and discuss choices made by other groups. Watch BBC video clips about Linnaeus and classification (see resources). Compare the classification of related and unrelated organisms using the Linnaeus system. Match images of animals to binomial names e.g. Giraffa camelopardalis. Look at the variety of given to the same plant and discuss why the binomial system is more useful. Exhibition of organisms to classify into groups (this could be the first lesson on evolution). Compare classification information on related and unrelated organisms. Pictures and names of different plants to discuss. Why is disagreement about the total number of Kingdoms? Students research figures for the total number of species. What is the range? Why is there uncertainty about a total for the number of species? Why are Euglena, slow worms, echidna difficult to classify? Exhibition of pictures and specimens of plants and animals. Video clips
