Animal Classification Worksheet

Classifying into Categories narrows animal sorting to four familiar groups. Students read each animal name from the box and place it under birds, mammals, reptiles, or fish. The printed introduction explains that classification organizes ideas into similar groups, connecting the task with a broader thinking skill. Examples include several species within each category, so students can compare traits rather than depend on a single prototype. The page works well after reviewing body coverings, breathing, and habitat misconceptions.
