[Pages:2] That's my type of animal!
Background knowledge
There are many different types of animals. Some look alike and some look quite different from one another. One way we can group animals is by the features they have in common. For example, animals that are warm blooded, lay eggs, lack teeth, and have feathers on their body and scales on their legs belong to a group of animals called birds. Go to website 24-1 to learn more.
Science activity
What features do the animals in each group have in common? What is the name of each group of animals?
Common features of group A animals: ............................................................... ............................................................... ............................................................... ...............................................................

Science investigation
Place some stuffed animals or animal toys together. Design and conduct an experiment to group them by their features. How many groups did you make? What features did you use? Compare your groups to the groups in the activity above. Visit the electronic zoo on website 24-2.

Science investigation
If stuffed animals or toys are not readily available, use pictures from a magazine or newspaper. Classifying them will allow the child to appreciate the diversity in the animal kingdom, while learning how scientists classify living things.
