Aim

• To use a classification key to group living things.

Success Criteria
• To identify a variety of living things in the local environment.
• To create a classification key.
Introduction
Classification keys are a way of identifying living things through
a series of questions. For example:
Does it have wings?

Does it have more than four legs?

Does it live on land?


Introduction
Each question has a yes or no answer and leads you one step
closer to the name of the living thing.

Does it have wings?

yes no

Does it live under


water?

Owl
Introduction
The first question is always quite general because it needs to
help sort the living things you are classifying.
Introduction
The questions will gradually get more specific as they separate
living things that are more similar.
Activity
First, have a go at putting the living things in the correct boxes
on the ‘Variation’ worksheet.

Second, have a go at creating your own yes or no questions that


will identify the living things on the ‘Animal Flow Chart’
worksheet.
