Suggested Follow-Up

-
Know and understand the seven levels of classification.
-
Apply that knowledge as they practice classifying animals.
-
Evaluate and compare the classification of animals.
This lesson explores the classification system used to identify animals. Most children are fascinated by animals and often have an animal that is a particular favorite, possibly even an animal the child has never seen before. Children also like to order and sort things, and this lesson melds both of these interests. This lesson is specifically designed to move quickly beyond the knowledge level to high-level thinking. This lesson can be taught to an entire classroom or given as a self-directed extension activity.
