Naming Common Animals
Identify and name common animals from major groups: fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals
What a learner can do afterwards
- Name at least two animals from each group: fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals
- Sort a set of animal pictures into the five groups
- Explain one feature of each group (e.g. 'birds have feathers', 'fish have gills')
The lesson
Animals belong to five big groups. The groups are fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Each group has its own special features.
Try it together
Leo sees a goldfish. It has gills and swims in water. It is a fish.
Good to know
Look for clues. Feathers mean bird. Fur means mammal. Gills mean fish.
Every animal fits one group, and each group has its own clue.
