Animal Classification

This year Devon is using the Bob Jones Science Level 3, which begins with vertebrates and invertebrates. From vertebrates the subject went into the five types of vertebrates: fish, birds, mammal, reptiles, and amphibians. Using these Animal Classification Cards for both girls (PreK and grade 2).

Above: Caroline worked through the cards to sort for "furry" animals and not "furry" animals.
She ended up with birds and mammals together in the furry pile, but then we sorted again into fur and feathers.




For Devon, I placed the title cards in a row and told her to sort based on mammal, bird, fish, invertebrate, amphibians, and reptiles. She really enjoyed herself.
