So you want to teach your students how biologists classify organisms but you're a bit short of materials to use? Get creative!

Taxonomy, in a broad sense the science of classification, but more strictly the classification of living and extinct organisms. The internationally accepted taxonomic nomenclature is the Linnaean system created by Swedish naturalist Carolus Linnaeus, who drew up rules for assigning names to plants and animals.

In biological classification, taxonomic rank is the relative level of a group of organisms (a taxon) in a taxonomic hierarchy. Try EdrawMax to create your taxonomy charts or just use this one immediately. Except for the taxonomy charts, EdrawMax supports creating over 280 types of diagrams. It is easy to import or export your diagram into multiple formats, like graphs, PDF, HTML, Visio file and more. Just try it now!
