Variation

1. Grouping living things

• Plants and animals can be divided into groups by looking at the similarities and differences between them.
• Plants are divided into two groups, flowering plants and non-flowering plants.
• Animals are divided into two main groups. Animals that have a backbone are called vertebrates. Animals that don't have a backbone are called invertebrates.
• Vertebrates and invertebrates are divided into smaller groups. Vertebrates, for example, are divided into mammals, birds, amphibians, fish and reptiles.

2. Keys

• A key is just a series of questions about the characteristics of living things.
• You can use a key to identify a living thing or decide which group it belongs to by answering the questions.
• Here is an example of a key. You can use the key to identify each of these animals.

Genesis 1

20And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

21And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

22And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

23And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
