St Aloysius Catholic Collage Year 7 - Explore the kingdom 'Animalia'
This is a space for year 7 students to explore the wonders of animals, how they are classified and the use of taxonomies. Students will learn how to create their own taxonomies and post them on this site.

=__Animal classification__= All animals belong to the same kingdom, and from there, are classified into groups. A class is a large group to which many different types of animals belong. They also belong to smaller groups: an order, a family, a genus and a species. A species is a group to which only one type of animal belongs.

__Taxonomy__
Taxonomy is the science of classifying these groups and sub-groups.
