Activity of Integration LSC S1:Diversity of Living Things

If you simply have a look, you will see a bewildering variety of living things around
you. From the potted plant on your desk to the bird on your window to the microscopic
germs on your hand, the diversity in living organisms is truly mind-blowing! Scientists
have been trying to classify living organisms in various ways for centuries. In fact,
even Aristotle classified living organisms on the basis whether they lived on land,
water or air. But biologists wanted a broader system of classifying living organisms.
