==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
[[Binomial Classification]] is a system used to name newly discovered [[species]].
===About the Binomial Classification System===
: When a new [[species]] is discovered it is first grouped with similar [[organism]]s with the same [[genus]]. For example if a new big cat were discovered its binomial classification would begin with [[Panthera]]. The [[genus]] is written with a capital letter.
: The [[species]] name can be invented by the discoverer and is usually made to sound latin. Some scientists recently named a new [[species]] of spider ''Eriovixia gryffindori'' after they thought it looked like a prop from Harry Potter. The species name is written in lower case.
: The '''Binomial Classification''' is usually underlined or written in 'italics'.
