About

Why do scientists classify animals? What similarities do all mammals have?

In this workshop students will explore and handle a variety of taxidermy animals from around the world to understand how and why scientists sort animals into groups.

Students will practice using a classification key to sort invertebrates and identify the features of mammals, fish, birds, amphibians and reptiles. Students will also be challenged to classify some mystery animals.
