The group kingdom, includes all living organisms and species. There are 5 different groups within Kingdom that organisms are placed in.
Phylum

Phylum puts organisms in a more specific group than Kingdom. Animals are grouped together based on similarities in basic body plan or organization.There are many Phylum groups in each Kingdom.

A family may include animals that live in the same area, or have a more similar characteristic. If you were to classify turtles, any water turtle would be in the same family.
Genus

The genus, along with the species names of an organism are how they are named in the classification system. Any human would be in the Homo genus.
Species

A species is a group that, in natural surroundings, breeds exclusively within the group. The species name is also used to identify organisms in classification. A lion is in the same genus as a house cat, (Felis), but is in the leo species in stead of the same one as a house cat.
