- Synopsis
-
How many plants and animals are discovered each year? You might think that the answer would be a small number, or perhaps none at all, but that would not be right. Life scientists discover, describe, and name hundreds of organisms every year. How do they decide if a certain plant belongs to the iris or orchid family of flowering plants? Or, if an insect is more like a grasshopper or a beetle? Think about how scientists might make these distinctions.
The science of classifying is called taxonomy (tak SAHN uh mee).
Classification is an important part of your life.
This text starts with Chapter 21.
