Students will learn how to classify animals into specific groups based on the animal's anatomy. For each animal group, we will discuss and exemplify the following:
Mammals- fur, live birth, vertebrate, warm-blooded, land/water-dwelling, etc
Reptiles/Amphibians- scales, cold-blooded, vertebrates, egg-laying, land-dwelling, etc
Birds- feathers, warm-blooded, egg-laying, vertebrates, ground/sky dwelling, etc
Bugs/Insects: Invertebrates, cold-blooded, egg-laying, a segmented body, 6 legs, etc

We will have animal ambassadors from these animal groups joining us during the presentation to act as a visual for the anatomical features of animals that we discuss.
