2. How do you write a correctly punctuated scientific name?
3. Why don't we just use the English or common name for organisms in science?
4. Recall the leaves you classified. What are three leaf traits or characteristics you used to classify the leaves?
They classify organism so they can tell what organism is which one because not all languages have the same name for animals. You put the word in underlined or italicized too punctuate it. We don’t uses just English because we want to exchange info with other people that speak different languages. I used small, skinny and rubbery.

ReplyDeleteScientists classify organisms to get a better understanding of the history and their evolutionary lineage. The genus name is underlined. We don't just use english for common names because words in english can mean a different word in another language. texture, vein pattern, and picture.

ReplyDelete1. to do further research
2. Because you can call a squrriel a squrriel but there are diffrent types of them.
3. Our language can mean diffrent words in other part of the world.
4. vain pattern, texture, shape.
Scientists classify organisms so they could tell the differences in the leaves and so they aren't just all called leaf. The genus name is underlined or italicized. The first letter in the first word is capitalized. We don't just use English for common names because words in english can translate into a different word in another language. I used small, round, or pointy leaves.

1. Scientists classifiy organisms so that they can observe them in different levels. They classify them in Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species.
ReplyDelete2. Genus then Species For example, humans scientific name is Homo(genus)sapiens(species). Genus is capitalized and species is not.
3. We don't just use Engish or common names for classification because people got confused when they were classifying organisms. This happened becasue in different countries called different things the same name.
4. Vein pattern, texture, and color.

Scientists classify organisms to have a general term for all organisms. With a general term all people from other countries will understand. You capitalize the first letter of the name and not capitalize the second word. We don't use English because not everyone understands English. The characteristics I used to classify the leaves is by texture and shape and vein pattern.

ReplyDelete1. Scientists classify organisms because they need to know what the exact name of the species to see what it is. For example, we could have just called the leaves off a White Ash tree a leaf from a Green Ash tree and it wouldn't be accurate.
2. The genus name, like Tanner said, is underlined.
3. We don't just us the English or common name for organisms in Science because it isn't specific and doesn't explain the actual type of species it is.
4. I used smooth/soft, fuzzy, and pointy more often than any other characteristics.
Also, sorry for the late response! Had no other time than right now! Thank you!
1. Scientist classify organisms so that can easily identify species so that they wont confuse them.
ReplyDeleteFor example:
Unclassified animals: "Hey, I think that the animals with spots that are brown with whiskers like to eat the other animals that are small and have scales."
Classified; "Hey, I think that the jaguars like to eat fish."
As you can see its more specific although in science they give a species two names, the genus which the first letter is capitalized, and the species which is all lower case (in this exact order). Beyond that the catagories can get less specific. From most specific to least specific it goes: Species, Genus, Family, Order, Class, Phylum, Kingdom, Domain. Scientist also name organisms in Greek or Latin so they have a single name for a single animal. For example, a species such as the mountain lion can be called: cougar, puma and more. Beyond this, countries can have different names. Fish can be a scaly oceanic creature in America but in Europe it might be a bird that is black with a wide beak. As you can see these names can become confusing so to stop this confusion scientist created an exact name for each species to decrease the amount of confusion. The three leaf traits our team used to identify leaves were shape, color, and vein patter.

Scientists classify organism to learn more about them. Once you classify them, you can know so much more, based on the little information you already have. To write a scientific name properly, you must capitalize the Genus name and also italicize it or underline it. The specific epithet is always underlined or italicized. We don’t use English or normal names because there are too many organisms we still have to discover and in English, they would be way too long. To classify the leaves, I looked at them, and then looked at similar ones on the key. I also looked at the descriptions.

To learn more about them. You capitalize the genus name and underline it. Ridges, compound, simple.Because we discovered the plants in a different country.
ReplyDeleteSammy
We classify organisms so we can get a better understanding of the world we life in. You underline the name of the genus and you capitalize the first letter. One animal could have multiple names and there are still animal that we haven't discovery. I compared the leafs, I found out if they were compound or simple, and I tested there texture.
ReplyDeleteAlexander
We classify them to use that information for other experiments and researching things. Underline the genus name and then capitalize it. Latin translates correctly to all languages and English does not. I did Leaflets/None & Color & Pinnate/Parallel/Palmate.
ReplyDeleteWeston Kennedy (is awesome)
We classify them to help expand our knowledge and help us with other experiments. Italicize the word. Latin translates into all languges. Texture and Shape.
