The five different Kingdoms have millions of different of
living organisms in each of them.

Scientists have looked at the organisms in each Kingdom


and grouped them together according to things that
make them similar.

Classification The biggest group is the Kingdom. And the groups then
get smaller and smaller and the organisms get more and

of Living more similar, right to the smallest group which is the


species.

Things The Kingdom is divided into the phylum (for animals) or


division (for plants); the phylum or division into the class;
the class into the order; the order into the family; the
family into the genus; and the genus into the species
