How can you sort the sets of animals? We can sort them into INSECT and NON INSECT but how else could they be sorted into two groups? On your white boards decide on other ways of sorting the animals Think about - What do they have? - Where do they live? - What they can do? REMEMBER YOUR METHOD OF CLASSIFYING THEM HAS TO BE FACTUAL. What would be wrong with: slithery and non slithery?
Classification of Animals Scientists have divided the Animal Kingdom into two main groups: vertebrates (animals with a backbone) invertebrates (animals without a backbone) and
Vertebrates Animals with backbones can be divided into five more groups: Mammals Birds Reptiles Amphibians Fish
Invertebrates Animals without a backbone.
Vertebrates Animals with a backbone.
Mammals Give birth to live young. Feed their babies with their own milk. Are more or less covered with hair. Are warm-blooded.
Birds Have feathers. Lay eggs. Are warm-blooded.
Reptiles Are cold-blooded. Lay eggs. Have a dry skin covered with scales.
Amphibians Are cold-blooded. Lay eggs. Have a smooth, moist skin. Are able to live on land as well as in the water.
Fish Are cold-blooded. Lay eggs (but some do give birth to live young). Have a moist skin covered in scales. Breathe through gills.
