Lesson overview
A science focused lesson where students classify some organisms that are frequently thought to be other things: dolphins are mammals not fish; sponges are actually animals; and coral are colonies of animals that can look like trees.Classification is a huge topic and appears in the Science Programme of Study at Years 4 and 6. This lesson provides learning opportunities relevant to both these stages and can be adapted to suit the level of your class.
Learning outcomes
- Identify living, dead and non-living things
- Create and use a key to classify organisms
- Classify difficult organisms using standard scientific groups with reasons
