Product description
From the author

The two-page PDF is printable and is not editable. Discuss particular plant and animal examples as students explain their placements.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Sort features into what belongs to plants only, to animals only, and to both
Identify a word that fits neither category and place it outside the diagram rather than forcing it into a circle
Read a two-circle Venn diagram, understanding that the overlap means both labels apply at once
Teaching tips
- Model the meaning of the overlap before students sort.
- Ask students to explain placements rather than using category counts as the main check.
- Discuss examples of animals with different body features.
Skills covered
Sorting by attribute - seventeen feature words are assigned to plants, to animals, or to both, using a printed word bank.
Reading a Venn diagram - the overlap holds six words that apply to plants and animals at once, which is the diagram's whole point.
Recognising the characteristics of living things - breathe, grow, drink, move, alive and die are the shared terms students place in the middle.
