I.

Objectives
At the end of the period the students must be able to:
1. Understand the historical background of classifying organisms.
2. Identify how organisms are being classified.
3. Explain why organisms are needed to be classified.

A. Content Standard
The learner demonstrates understanding of the species as being
further classified into a hierchial taxomic system.

B. Performance Standard
The learner shall be able to report (e.g., through a travelogue) on the
activities that communities engage in to protect and conserve endangered and
economically important species.

C. Learning Competences
S8LT- IVh – 20: Classify organisms using the hierchial taxomic system.

C. Presenting Example or
Instances of the New Lesson

But before we tackled our topic

let us first read our objectives.

Group 1 kindly read the first

one and followed by group 2
and 3.
Objectives
At the end of the period the
students must be able to:
1. Understand the historical
background of classifying
organisms.
2. Identify how organisms
are being classified.
3. Explain why organisms
are needed to be
classified.

Thank You!
Let’s go back where have started!

How do you use classification every

day? (Students from the group)
You are more than likely to find
whatever you are looking for, thus
saving time, money and energy.
Precisely!

Biologists also have organized living

things with similarities into groups so
that the organisms are easier to study.

Taxonomy
is the branch of science that groups or
names organisms based on studies of
their different characteristics.

Take a look at the picture what do you

observe?

Ma’ am it’s so messy!

Yes it is!
That is also will happen if our
organisms are not classified by there
groups.

And this will happen when they are

already classified.

That is why
Aristotle (4th century BC) –He
developed a system that classified
organisms as either plants or animals.

But there was a problem with his

system of classification.

Aristotle’s System Although this was

a good attempt on Aristotle’s part, it
simply was not accurate enough in
classifying to relate true species.

Aristotle’s System As time passed,

more species were discovered & some
did not fit easily into Aristotle’s
system of classification.

Because of that this man introduce his

system of classifying.

D. Discussing new concepts

and practicing new skills
#2

His system was based upon

classifying organisms according to
organism's physical and structural
similarities.

Linnaean System For example, he

might use the similarities in flower
parts as a basis for classifying
flowering plants.

Linnaeus’ System became the

foundational way for today’s modern
classification systems.

Organisms are grouped and ranked in

a “Taxon”

A taxon is a further broken-down

level of classification found within
each kingdom. • Organisms that look
alike & successfully interbreed to
produce a fertile offspring belong to
the same species.

E. Discussing new concepts
