SCIENCE –
Hi Year 4! Your science activities for the next week weeks will focus on our new science topic: Living Things and Their Habitats! For your science activity this week we will be thinking about all the different ways that we can group different animals. We will look at using different diagrams and different criteria to group animals. Use this link , to help you begin to understand some of the different ways in which animals can be grouped. Then look through this PowerPoint which further explores the 5 key groups of animals classes. Then can you please create a colourful and informative poster or leaflet about the 5 animal classes, using images and information to express your knowledge of these!
Challenge: Could you then think about other ways in which animals could be grouped, based on their physical features? Their habitats? Or think of your own criteria! Then please create a Venn or Carroll diagram to show the different ways in which you can group animals. Look at these examples of Venn and Carroll diagrams below to help you.
