Morning Starters: Autumn 2 - Animal Classification
Did You Know?
Have you ever noticed how many different kinds of living things there are – tiny bugs in the grass, birds in the sky, or even huge whales in the sea? Earth is full of amazing life! Scientists study this biodiversity by sorting animals and plants into groups with similar characteristics. This is called classification. All animals fall into two main groups: vertebrates (animals with a backbone) and invertebrates (animals without a backbone).
