Today for Science we are going to learn more about different animal classes or groups. No, animal classes are not like the classes people have at school!
An animal class (or group) is made up of animals that are all alike in important ways. Scientists have grouped animals into classes to make it easier to study them.
There are many different animal classes and every animal in the world belongs to one of them. The five most well known classes of vertebrates (animals with backbones) are:
