How organisms are classified
 * A greek philosopher named Aristotle classified organisms in 2 groups, plants and animals. Then he organized animals by where they live and plants by how they grow, herbs, trees, or shrubs. This wasn't that great because the sea turtle and the whale were grouped together and the tortoise and the elephants were together. THe tortoise and sea turtle were too much like together to be classified in different groups. This is why the Linnaeus Classification system is used now.
 * Just like the last one color isn't a good way either. Then the black bear, black widow, and the black bird would be in the same group.
 * Aristotle classified animals the way he did it 2000 years ago.
