Diversity of Living Organisms › Plant and Animal KingdomsDiversity of Living Organisms › Classification of Living OrganismsChapter 3Diversity in Living Organisms
There are millions of kinds of living things, from bacteria that you cannot see to blue whales as long as a ship. How do biologists keep track of them all? In this chapter we learn how living things are sorted into groups, how each one gets its two-part scientific name, and what the five kingdoms are. Then we meet the main groups of plants and animals, one by one. We use Python to build keys and to measure diversity.

How We Classify Living Things
A library puts books in order, so that you can find one. Biologists do the same for living things. In this course we learn why and how we sort them, how the groups go from large to small, how a scientific name is written, and what the five kingdoms are.
Groups of Plants and Animals
Fern, pine, sponge, earthworm, frog, bat. Each one belongs to a group, and the group tells us a lot about the body. In this course we go through the groups of plants and animals, and we learn the clues that tell them apart.
