Pupil outcome: I can explain how to use a classification key, and the importance of classifying organisms into groups within larger groups. Key learning points: - A classification key can be used to find out which groups organisms are...

In terms of biological classification, organisms are classified, or grouped, with other organisms that they are most closely related to. These small groups are then classified together into larger groups and so on, until we reach the top...

In this video, we explore the challenging task of classifying the millions of different living things on our planet. By understanding classification principles and utilizing these tools, taxonomists contribute to our understanding of the...

This video discusses the traditional and modern methods of classifying organisms based on their similarities. The video explains that the classification of organisms is essential to understand the relationships between different groups...

FEED ME! In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina has a chat with us about what living things eat to get energy. What makes something an omnivore, or a carnivore, or an herbivore? And how do plants fit in to all of this? This first...

This is a video on the classification of living organisms. The video explains how classification is useful for studying and understanding relationships between different groups of organisms. It goes on to explain the traditional...

In this live-action program viewers will learn that taxonomists are scientists who work to classify organisms and place them into a complex tree of life. Students will come to understand that one of those classifications is kingdom...

This video introduces the Classifying Plants and Fungi series. These two very important kingdoms of living things are the focus of this colorful and fascinating program. The major taxonomic categories of these organisms are discussed,...

For thousands of years scientists have named and categorized the vast array of life on Earth. This series of videos highlights the major advances concerning the classification of life, more specifically focusing on current trends in...

Hank tells us the background story and explains the importance of the science of classifying living things, also known as taxonomy.

Sorting organisms into categories seems pretty simple at first, but look a little closer and things get weird.

The video describes the development of a new classification system for all plant and animal life called DNA barcoding. This system uses a specific area of mitochondrial DNA as a unique species identifier, providing a more scientifically...

It explains the characteristics of microbes, explains broad groups of microbes and describes special character of viruses.

Pupil outcome: I can describe the work of Carl Linnaeus and his contribution to how we classify living things. Key learning points: - Taxonomy is the science of naming, describing and grouping all living things. - Scientists have...

The classification system organises species into domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and finally species. ‘Kingdom’ is the second highest rank below the rank of domain in this sequence of classification. It helps us to...

In this video, the teacher discusses the different kingdoms of living things. They explain that the animal Kingdom is the largest and most general category, including diverse organisms such as worms, marmots, and starfish. The video also...
