Classification of Living Organisms
Sorting and Grouping Plant and Animal Specimens
Drag and drop the specimens into their correct classification groups. Learn how scientists categorize living organisms based on their characteristics.
Mammals
Birds
Plants
Observation:
Drag each specimen to what you think is its correct group. Look for characteristics like fur, feathers, or leaves.
Classification Systems
1. Mammals:
Vertebrates with hair/fur, mammary glands, and typically give live birth (e.g., humans, dogs, dolphins).
2. Birds:
Warm-blooded vertebrates with feathers, beaks, and lay hard-shelled eggs (e.g., eagles, penguins, sparrows).
3. Plants:
Multicellular organisms with cell walls containing cellulose, capable of photosynthesis (e.g., trees, flowers, grasses).
