Classification
of Plants & Animals
At any one time in history, there are millions of different kinds
of plants and animals in the world. In 1753, a scientist in Sweden
named Carolus Linnaeus thought of an orderly system for classifying
plants and animals.

These families belong to larger groups, too. Today, we'll look
at members of a big group called the vertebrates. These are animals
that have backbones. Do you have a backbone? Great. You're part
of this group!
