Description

Our Animal Classification lesson plan for grades 1-3 introduces students to the ways in which animals are classified scientifically. This fun, engaging lesson allows students to express their creativity as they are asked to design a poster showing different categories of classification and some examples of animals that fit into those classifications. Students are also asked to match traits to the correct classification in order to demonstrate their understanding of the lesson material.

At the end of the lesson, students will be able to define, identify, and use the science process skills.

Great materials

The kids love it and it is so easy to find fun activities for the children we have in our camp and program to supplement our curriculum. This is great for volunteers to use to lead children in activities.

Excellent Introduction

I used this lesson with my two girls, kinder and 2nd grade. It took us three lessons over one week. It was a great intro to vertebrates/invertebrates and the classes within. They loved the sorting assignment. And they really came away with a nice, basic understanding of animal classification.
