CLASSIFYING CLASSES
PROCEDURE
Scientists classify all living things into a series of groups. Below is a list of the names of these groups for humans. Try extending this system beyond the species Homo Sapiens. Keep splitting this group into smaller and smaller groups until you are left with a category based on who your homeroom teacher is. Add five new levels of classification.
| GROUP | EXAMPLE: Humans |
| KINGDOM | Animal |
| PHYLUM | Chordata |
| CLASS | Mammalia |
| ORDER | Primates |
| FAMILY | Hominidae |
| GENUS | Homo |
| SPECIES | Homo Sapiens |
