 Biological Classification System:

I am providing this list of classification terms in order for students to begin to understand the system used by scientists to organize all life forms according to their similarities and relationships.  Carl Linnaeus began developing the system over 200 years ago that gradually changed into the system that we use today to give names to organisms.

 

Classification Levels:

Domain

Kingdom

Phylum

Subphylum

Superclass

Class

Subclass

Order

Family

Genus

Species

Tetrapods (superclass) are animals with four limbs.  "Tetrapod" means four feet.  Any animal that has four limbs is a tetrapod.
