Animal Classification introduces students to the different categories of animals. Students will learn how to determine which group an animal belongs to based on its characteristics. They will discover which classes contain vertebrates and which classes contains invertebrates.

In the “Options for Lesson” section of the classroom procedure pages, you will find several suggestions that you can add to or alter in the lesson plan. One suggestion, for instance, is to assign students a specific animal to research online. Then have all the students present what they find to the class.
