How do we classify animals? Have you ever wondered, how do you work out what makes a bird a bird, or what make a fish a fish? In the animal kingdom, there are a lot of animals, and we need a way to know who is who! Animal Detectives Pre Activity Name ... . Years ago, when people wanted to learn about animals, they realised that there were different types and they worked out there were different groups of animals. There are 5 different groups of animals that have bones (like us). There are also animals that don t have bones, like snails and insects!
There are 5 different groups of animals that have bones, can you rearrange the letters below to find out the names of these groups? Now that you have figured out the 5 groups, an easy way to remember them all is to say M L M A M A = M .. MR FAB D B I R = B .. Mammals Reptiles Fish Amphibians Birds P B M N H A I A I = A H F S I = F . P L R I E T E = R ..
Classification Groups? Fish Mammals Reptiles Mammals, Reptiles, Fish, Amphibians and Birds all have a bones, but they are all different to each other. We are going to work out, what makes each group special. Use the words below to work out what characteristics make up the different groups. Live young Fur Cold Blooded Cold Blooded Warm Blooded Babies drink milk Have a beak Lay hard eggs Dry scales Breathe underwater using gills Birds Amphibians Live on land & in water Have scales and fins Lay squishy eggs Warm Blooded Cold Blooded Soft shell eggs Can have tad poles Moist skin
