Our students are exploring the Classification of Living Things by discovering that scientists use characteristics to sort and organize living things into groups.
To help make this concept come to life, students practiced their classification skills in some fun and unexpected ways—by sorting different types of pasta and organizing playing cards! Through these hands-on activities, students identified similarities and differences, developed their own classification systems, and discussed how the characteristics they chose affected how items were grouped.
It was a fun way to see that classification isn’t just about memorizing categories—it’s about observing, identifying patterns, and using evidence to organize information!
