How to

How to classify plants and animals

Classification
Classifying means arranging animals or plants in groups.
Scientists use similarities and differences to put living things into groups.
The two really big groups are called animals and plants.

Animals are divided into two groups:

Vertebrates have a spine or backbone.
Invertebrates do not have a backbone.

Vertebrates are divided into five groups:

1. Mammals
2. Birds
3. Amphibians
4. Fish
5. Reptiles

Animals in each group share similarities: all mammals feed their babies on milk, for example.

Invertebrates are divided into seven groups. But don't worry - you don't need to know all their names.

The biggest group of invertebrates is the arthropods. This includes insects and spiders.

Plants are divided into two groups, flowering plants and non-flowering plants.

Flowering plants all have flowers, but they can be very different from each other.

Non-flowering plants do not have flowers, but again they can be very different from each other.

Scientists often use keys to identify the group an animal or plant belongs in. A key is a series of questions. The answers help to identify the animal or plant. The best way to understand this is to try one yourself. Follow these steps.
1. Look at the pictures.
2. Take one animal at a time.
3. Start with the first question, and answer it for that animal only.
4. Follow the line from each answer
