Aligned to Year 4 Science — Living Things and Their Habitats. Covers recognising that living things can be grouped in a variety of ways, exploring and using classification keys to help group, identify, and name a variety of living things, and recognising that environments can change and that this can sometimes pose dangers to living things.
Teaching Tips +

Classification Keys work well as a paired activity — children can create their own keys for familiar animals. Build A Bug House is a great DT link and works well as an end-of-unit project. Human Impact activities link naturally to Geography and PSHE discussions about environmental responsibility.
