Classification is a method that scientists use to see what a creature is so different types of flowers and animals. There are also different groups. Carl Linnaeus is a famous person who started classifying. When did Carl Linnaeus start classifying? 1758. We started classification on the 8th of september and we went on walks. What did we do? We went rock pooling and found crabs, small fish and more. We found out if they were vertebrates or invertebrates. The topic was so fun and interesting most people liked the topic.
We had to draw pictures to put on our tree or life. I drew a plant thistle, other people drew animals, arachnids, mammals and birds. It was super fun for everyone. There are different categories of animal and they include mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, insects, archnids, annelids, cnidaria, echinoderms, molluscs, crustaceans and myriapods.
Invertebrate and vertebrates.
Vertebrates have a backbone and Invertebrates do not have a backbone. For example slugs are Invertebrates because they don’t have a backbone and the cheetah is a vertebrate because it has a backbone. The biggest living organism is a fungi called a honey mushroom.
