| Kingdoms | It divides organisms into large groups |
| traits | It is a characteristic of a living thing |
| Kingdom | Members move in some way, eat food and reproduce |
| Phylum | It is a large group within a kingdom. Members have at least one major characteristic in common, such ass having a backbone |
| Order | A class is made up of smaller groups. Members are meat eaters. |
| Family | An order is made up of smaller groups of similar organisms. Thease groups include dogs, wolves and coyotes |
| Genus | It is a group made up of two or more very similar species |
| Species | This is the smallest classification group . Members can reproduce only with each others |
| Panthera | The genus name for a lion |
| Felis | The genus name for a mountain lion |
| Fossil | is any evidence of an organism that lived in the past |
| Evolution | change in living things over time |
| embryo | an undeveloped animal or plant |

| If an organism have a nucleus | It can be an animal, plant, fugus, or protist |
| If an orgaism does not have a nucleus | It can be a true bacterium or acient bacterium |
| If the organism have many cells | It can be an animal, plant, protist or fungus |
| If the organism has no cells | It can be a true bacterium, ancient, bacterium, fungus or protist |
| If an orgaism eat or obtain food | It can be an animal, fungus or true bacterium |
| If the organism does not eat or obtain | It can be a true bacterium, ancient bacterium, plant or protist |
| If the organism move | It can be an animal, protist, true bacterium or ancient bacterium |
| If the organism does not move | It can be a true bacterium, ancient bacterium, protist, plant or fungus |
| Sea anemone | looks like a plant but it is really an animal |
| Mountain lions and butterflies | belong to the animal kingdom even though they are very different |
| Canis familiaris | the scientific name of all breed dogs |
| Using both the genus and species names | lets scientists identify specific orgaisms |
