What did Linneaus look at/use to classify organisms (hint: and the person who made Monday’s “Lost cat” poster did not)

• the organisms' structure and form

• a key and tool box

• 6 Kingdoms

• Aristotle

Name the 6 Kingdoms

• Plant, Animal, Protist, Kingdom, Phylum, Class

• Plant, Animal, Protist, Acheabacteria, Eubacteria, Fungus

• Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Genus, specis

Is Kingdom a specific category or a general category? Cite evidence:

• specific, there are only 6 of them and they are very detailed

• General, there's only 6 yet all the organisms in the world are in there!
