Animal Classification

Congratulations! Our posters are all done and ready to be presented to the class. We have been working so hard on researching the physical characteristics of each group, so we can identify which animals fit into each group. Maybe you have been so focused on your particular animal group, that you haven't had a chance to think about the others. If that's the case, then you should definitely check out this site. It has info on all the groups and when you're done reading up on the groups, you can play this game to see how much you've learned! It can really help you learn/review the main characteristics of each group.

The only group the site doesn't mention is arthropods, which are invertebrates (no backbone). You can test your knowledge of arthropods by clicking on the link. You can also learn the characteristics of insects, which are a type of arthropod.
