What children learn in Level 48
- Welcome to Animal and Plant Groups! Scientists put animals in groups by looking at their bodies.
- Some animals are covered in fur, like a dog, a cat, and a rabbit.
- Birds are covered in feathers.
- Fish, snakes, and lizards are covered in scales.
- A turtle and a snail have a hard shell. A frog has smooth skin.
- Try it with a grown-up! Look at a pet or a picture of an animal. What covers its body?
Georgia Standards of Excellence in Science:
- SKL2.a — Construct an argument supported by evidence for how animals can be grouped according to their features.
