What's in an Organism's Name?

Long time, no talk (or blog in this case). I have been slacking at updating this. Now that I am finally caught up hopefully I can stay on top of this site a little more.

In class we are studying the living world. Once we have a basic understanding of what living things are, we can move on to how the non-living world interacts with our living world.

First- we need to understand taxonomy and how organisms get their name. Since we do not have a book to take home, all notes are being done in class. If you missed some spaces check out this link to help you fill in the blanks.
