Biodiversity and classification

What you'll learn

1. 1

   Biodiversity is the variety of all living things on Earth — from tiny bacteria to giant whales! 🐋

2. 2

   What is biodiversity? 🧬

3. 3

   Here's a simple classification tree: 🐕 (dog) → 🐺 (wolf) → 🦊 (fox) → all are in the 'canid' family. They share features like sharp teeth and pointy ears.

4. 4

   Drag each animal into the correct group: 🐟 (fish), 🦎 (lizard), 🐸 (frog), 🐢 (turtle).

5. 5

   Let's classify a human 🧑. We use a 7-level system: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species.

6. 6

   Which level is the most specific? (Think: all humans are Homo sapiens, but not all animals are humans.)

7. 7

   Match these animals to their class: 🐧 (penguin), 🐬 (dolphin), 🦇 (bat), 🐊 (crocodile).
