This lesson teaches or reinforces the learning of the basic classification system for the animal kingdom. It is simple enough for advanced students in grades 3-4, but may be best for grades 5 & 6 or for review in grades 7 and above. It includes a worksheet that may be copied and used if desired. This worksheet is available for preview. However if you wish to have the students complete this activity in their own notebooks, it works equally well.
