Place these animals in correct group below - Grouping Living Things - Year 4

Classifying animals is an essential part of studying biology and understanding the diversity of life on Earth. In Year 4, students learn to group living things into different categories based on their characteristics. The main groups that students focus on are mammals, birds, fish, amphibians, and reptiles. Each group has distinct features that set them apart from the others. Mammals are warm-blooded animals with fur or hair that usually give birth to live young and nurse them with milk. Birds are feathered, warm-blooded creatures with beaks and lay eggs. Fish are cold-blooded animals that live in water and have gills to breathe. Amphibians are cold-blooded and typically start life in water with gills, later developing lungs to live on land. Reptiles are cold-blooded, have scales, and lay eggs.

When placing the listed animals into the correct groups, the following classifications are made: mammals include the cow, human, rhinoceros, and bear; birds consist of the eagle, robin, heron, and parrot; fish are represented by the trout, tuna, eel, and salmon; amphibians include the frog, toad, salamander, and newt; and reptiles are the snake, rattlesnake, cobra, and crocodile. This exercise helps students earn points for each correctly classified animal and is typically allotted 15 minutes to complete. Through such activities, students become more familiar with the different animal classes and the distinguishing features of each group.
