As part of our habitats topic, we learnt about why scientists classify living things and how they do it. We talked about different characteristics scientists could use in classification and came up with loads of great examples. We could use these in classification keys to help us categorise living things.
We watched a video to help us understand more about classification keys. We then used a classification key to organise minibeasts. Here are some photos of us hard at work.
Next we created our own classification keys for a swan, frog and crab.
We’re experts in classification keys, ask us to explain it to you!
