Animal Classifications



1. Animal Classifications

  Click on this following link to play an interactive game that explains animal classifications.  When you play the game follow these instructions for identifying similarities in each classification.

The game will show you various animals, insects, birds or reptiles. First, you much choose which category it belongs in.  Second, a small menu will pop up to tell you if you have made the right choice.  In your science journals, write down the name of each mammal, insect, reptile or bird that you identify, and label what characteristics make it a member of that category. In other words, what is a specific feature that makes something a part of the insect family, or something a mammal.  One example might be that a beetle is part of the insect family because it has a hard exterior shell, or a rhinoceros is part of the mammal family because it has lungs to breathe.  Make the appropriate notes for Mr. Frisch to check your work.

2. What do you see in this picture? Let your imagination run wild.  Credit will be given for complete sentences and a well organized paragraph. Perhaps you can write a story about what you see or how you would feel if you were actually a part of this scene.
