We have been learning about how and why scientists classify living things in Science at school. You have a choice of homework tasks on this topic.

Task 1- Research the work of the scientist Carl Linnaeus on classification. Create a fact file including pictures on your findings.

Task 2-  Research the similarities and differences between sharks and whales, and either display this information as a poster or present it in a talk to the class.

Task 3- Research different species within a specific family of animals, for example the dog or cat family. Make a poster containing drawings and facts on what you have found out.

If you do not have access to the internet at home, you can use the computers in Pollokshields library or ask the librarian for books on this subject.

This homework is due in on 1st October 2018.
