Observing, Classifying, Communicating, Inferring, Predicting

Information for Teachers

  • Classification means grouping of things which are similar.
  • By classification, the study becomes easy, systematic and organized.
  • Living things are divided into two main groups i.e. plants and animals. They can be further classified into different groups according to their “Characteristics” such as eating habits, structure, movements and habitat etc.
  • On the basis of these characteristics, we can make groups of like or similar things. We can know the basic characteristics of all members of a group by examining only one member.

Material / Resources

Writing board, chalk / marker, duster, animals flashcards
