What's happening in science?

Take a look at the fantastic science learning that we have been doing.

First we played the animal characteristics game (available in the website links section of this blog). It was lots of fun because we competed against each other to see which team could get the most correct.

We then sorted the characteristics of animals into the groups mammal, bird, fish, reptile and amphibian. Do you know which characteristics make an animal a reptile or an amphibian?

Is a dolphin a fish or a mammal? 

Which characteristics make cats belong to the mammal group?

Which characteristics make rabbits belong to the mammal group?
