Carl Linnaeus By: Sarahp510 Early Life v Born May 23rd, 1707 in Rashult, Sweden v Carl was given flowers too play with as a child v At the age of four, Carl wanted to know every flowers name in the area v By the time he went to college, Carl knew the names of every single plant near his home Lapland Journeys v Carl went to Lapland looking for undiscovered plants v He became greatly fascinated with the animals there v Carl saw pearl fishers on his journey v They had gone through thousands of mussels and oysters looking for pearls v Carl thought a disease created these pearls v “Anyone who could induce this sickness in mussels could make them produce more pearls.” Page 50 of __Father of Classification__ College v Carl housed over 100 specimens in his college <span style="color: #00b0f0; font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 1.5;">dorm v <span style="color: #00b0f0; font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif; font-size: 14pt;">He kept 30 different live birds at one time in his room v <span style="color: #00b0f0; font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif; font-size: 14pt;">Carl taught botany through lectures <span style="color: #00b050; display: block; font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif; font-size: 16pt; text-align: center;">Botany v <span style="color: #00b050; font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif; font-size: 14pt;">Is the study of plants v <span style="color: #00b050; font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif; font-size: 14pt;">Other names include Plant Science and Plant Biology v <span style="color: #00b050; font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif; font-size: 14pt;">In botany, you would study what the plant looks like, how to classify it, its name, and how to describe it. v <span style="color: #00b050; font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif; font-size: 14pt;">Is important to the knowledge of plants v <span style="color: #00b050; font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif; font-size: 14pt;">Explains a lot about what we should or shouldn't consume

v <span style="color: #45e739; font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif; font-size: 14pt;">The binomial classification system classifies living things by their scientific name v <span style="color: #45e739; font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif; font-size: 14pt;">Carl Linnaeus came up with it v <span style="color: #45e739; font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif; font-size: 14pt;">This method was used to classify and name the animals native to North America v <span style="color: #45e739; font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif; font-size: 14pt;">This classification system is still used today v <span style="color: #45e739; font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif; font-size: 14pt;">This is how you classify a grizzly bear <span style="color: #e2e707;

font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif; font-size: 14pt;">He traveled with 7 other people v <span style="color: #e2e707; font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif; font-size: 14pt;">These 7 other people all had different jobs v <span style="color: #e2e707; font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif; font-size: 14pt;">Like watching the horses, taking plant and animal samples, and finding some place to sleep v <span style="color: #e2e707; font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif; font-size: 14pt;">When he was 27, Carl found love v <span style="color: #e2e707; font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif; font-size: 14pt;">He was in love with the 18 year old Sara Lisa v <span style="color: #e2e707;

font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif; font-size: 14pt;">One scientist, Dr. Johan Gronovius, agreed to help with publishing for Carl’s new book <span style="color: #ffc000; display: block; font-family: 'Bookman Old Style',serif;
