Identify reptiles, mammals and amphibians - Worksheets

Worksheets designed for Year 1 students focus on the classification of animals into reptiles, mammals, and amphibians. The reptile worksheet asks students to identify which among the listed animals is a reptile, providing options such as an elephant, chameleon, fox, and tiger. To assist with this, the worksheet prompts students to explain their choice based on the characteristics that define reptiles. Additionally, it encourages discussion on the broader topic of animal classification and the specific traits that help us differentiate between reptiles, mammals, and amphibians.

In the mammals section, children are presented with a similar task, where they must pick out the mammal from a list that includes a snake, elephant, frog, and chameleon. They need to justify their selection by explaining what makes an animal a mammal. The worksheet also poses a thought-provoking question about why tigers are not like humans, prompting students to think about the similarities and differences within the mammal classification. Finally, the amphibians worksheet challenges students to identify an amphibian from options such as a frog, elephant, deer, and ladybird, with a requirement to explain their reasoning. These worksheets collectively aim to enhance students' understanding of the fundamental differences between these three distinct animal groups.
