Introduction classification of Animals Classification of animal is the grouping of objects into sets according to one or more common propertiesor

characteristic. Common characteristics are characteristics that are possessed by two or more types ofspecies. Common characteristics in animals include methods of reproduction, types of food, habitats andphysical features. Scientific have classified living organism into different major groups and subgroups to makeit easier to study living organisms in more systematic manner. The classification is based on commoncharacteristics and distinctive features such as their structures, development and life style. classification of Organisms A classification system is required to group living things methodically because of their large number andtypes. Living organism is classified into two groups; animals and plant kingdoms. Animal kingdom is classifiedinto two groups to make it easier. The two groups are vertebrates and invertebrates. Vertebrates are animalsthat have backbones whereas invertebrates are animals that without backbones. They possess commoncharacteristics which differentiate them from other species. Classification is important to enable more in-depth scientific studies to be carried out for the improvement of the species themselves.

Objective To classify various animals based on the common characteristic To classify vertebrates into five groups and invertebrates into two groups To study the characteristic of each of vertebrates and invertebrates To understand move about the living things such as vertebrates and invertebrates

iscussion

discussion vertebrates There are about 47 000 kinds of vertebrates. Vertebrates is classified into five smaller groups; fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds andmammals. Some of the common characteristics used in classifying vertebrates are:- H a b i t a t s Body temperatures-Types of movement-The outer covering of bodies-Types of respiration that take place-Reproductive method Invertebrates Invertebrates account for more than 90% of the species in the animal kingdom. Many of the invertebrates are small in size and have simple body structures. Theycannot grow too big because they do not have a backbone to support their weight. This group includes insects, scorpions, molluscs, worms, crabs and prawns. Invertebrates may be broadly divided into those with jointed legs and those without jointed legs D

conclusion I would like to thank my Science teacherfor herguidance. I also would not forget my friends that had givenme enough support that I need. Thank you once more.By doing this scrapbook, I know more aboutclassification of animals. Other than that, I also know how toclassify various animals based on their commoncharacteristics. In conclusion, I have learned a lot of aboutclassification of animals by doing the scrapbook.
