DIGITAL DOWNLOAD: you receive a printable US Letter PDF to print at home or school. No physical book is shipped.

The longest booklet at this grade band, this one teaches classification by having students actually build and use a key, so a teacher never has to design one from nothing. Animals split first into vertebrates and invertebrates, then students apply a working classification key to identify real species correctly. A section sends students out to observe living things in their own habitat before a closing question on how human activity reshapes those same habitats over time. A free video from Brenda Hayles accompanies every section. Color habitat photos run alongside classification key diagrams throughout, and the glossary at the back defines classification terms. NGSS codes 3-LS4-3 and 3-LS4-4 are covered.

Inside:

• Six sections, from sorting animals to changing habitats
• A linked video for every section
• Color habitat photos beside classification key diagrams
• A glossary covering vertebrate and invertebrate
