Year 6 pupils build on Year 4 classification work in this 23 page booklet, looking more deeply at how animals and plants are each sorted, and meeting microorganisms as a group of their own. It sets its trickiest question around a platypus that refuses to fit neatly into any group, and a "Can we study local habitats?" section brings the topic back to the pupils' own surroundings. The booklet closes by introducing Carl Linnaeus, the scientist behind the classification system itself. Every question follows Year 6 science in England and carries a Watch the video button through to a free lesson by Brenda Hayles on YouTube. Diagrams of classification groups appear throughout, with a vocabulary list at the back.

Inside:

• Six questions, from classifying animals to Carl Linnaeus
• A video link for every question
