Academic Subject

• Biology

Topic

• Taxonomy System

Time Required

• 30 minutes

Learning Objectives

By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:

1. Define Taxonomy System
2. Identify and explain the importance of classification of living organisms
3. Familiarize themselves with the taxonomic categories
4. Have a basic understanding of Binomial Nomenclature
5. Apply their understanding of taxonomic categories to identify different types of organisms

Materials Required

• Whiteboard and markers
• Printouts of different organisms
• Internet access

Lesson

1. Introduction (5 minutes)

   • Greet the students and introduce the topic - Taxonomy System
   • Ask students if they are familiar with the term and what they know about it

2. Definition and importance of Taxonomy System (5 minutes)

   • Explain that Taxonomy is the science of naming, describing, and classifying different organisms
   • Elaborate on the importance of taxonomy, how it helps in understanding the relationships between different organisms and how this understanding can aid in fields such as medicine, agriculture, and conservation.

3. Classification of Living organisms (5 minutes)

   • Introduce the different categories of classification such as Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species
   • Explain how these categories help in grouping and identifying animals and plants.

4. Binomial Nomenclature (5 minutes)

   • Familiarize students with the concept of Binomial Nomenclature.
   • Explain the meaning of two-part scientific names and their importance in understanding the classification of organisms

5. Identifying Organisms (5 minutes)

   • Provide printouts of different organisms and ask students to classify them according to the taxonomic categories they have learned
   • Encourage them to use their understanding of Binomial Nomenclature to identify the type of organism.

6. Conclusion (5 minutes)

   • Recap the key points covered in the lesson
   • Assign a homework task on identifying different organisms and classifying them by their taxonomic categories.

Homework

Students will be required to select five different organisms, research their taxonomic categories, and present their findings in a written report. This report should include the common name of the organism, its scientific name (Binomial Nomenclature), and its classification according to the seven taxonomic categories.
