Carolus Linnaeus designed the binomial nomenclature system of naming organisms that is still in use more than 200 years later. By viewing this PowerPoint, upcoming biologists learn how to use it. They are also introduced to the hierarchy of biological classification, cladograms, and the six kingdoms. This provides a satisfactory introduction to the world of taxonomy.
