What did you use to remember "Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species"? - General

This is for a little project. You know the biological taxonomic ranks? [B]K[/B]ingdom [B]P[/B]hylum [B]C[/B]lass [B]O[/B]rder [B]F[/B]amily [B]G[/B]enus [B]S[/B]pecies Remember when you were in the 6th grade, being taught this rank, and the orders? The teacher gave you a little phrase, or [B]mnemonic[/B], for you to use to remember the order. For me, it was: [B]K[/B]ing [B]P[/B]hilip [B]C[/B]rossed [B]O[/B]ver [B]F[/B]ive [B]G[/B]reat [B]S[/B]eas However, there are countless others. Which one did you use? If you don't have to use a phrase to remember the order, then just tell me the one they [I]taught[/I] you.

I'm such a badass rebel, I don't even use mnemonic devices. I just remember it by the organization. Kingdoms=big, large sprawling political entities. Phylums equate to Princes, princes have Princedoms, slightly smaller subdivisions of Kingdoms. Classes are social groups within a larger political entity, so they're next. Orders are smaller groupings of those specific social groups, so I remember that. Families are big, but not massive, and fit right into orders. Genus, I remember as an immediate family and species as the direct family. So, like the order of a society.

[QUOTE=KigJow;19713458]You're still in middle school, aren't you?[/QUOTE] No, no no no, I can remember all the levels of organization, and if you ''must'' know, I am doing it for Wikipedia. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Zoology_mnemonic&action=history[/url] see me there?

Like this: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species It's not that hard to remember.

I can remember it without a mnemonic, I'm just wondering what your middle school teacher gave YOU to remember it.

I just remembered it as it sounds. It's not that hard. If you have trouble with that, wait until you get into high school and you have to recite 40+ lines of Shakespeare. Try getting a mnemonic for that.

My teacher made up a little song about those. After I heard the song I decided never to learn it. However, the fucking song got stuck in my head during the test, and I aced the test :v:
