Biological Classification & Life Cycles

Science & Innovation

Your child can sort living organisms into categories based on their features (e.g., mammals vs. reptiles) and can outline a complete life cycle.

In real life

At a farm, your child points from a chicken to a cow and works it out aloud: "This one has feathers and this one has hair, so they can't be the same kind of animal."
