Lesson Planning
Take part in a live classification key then see if you can get classifying Russian-style. Have a go at developing your own on-screen key that can be used as part of your final WWF exhibition.
Teaching Outcomes:
- To identify plants and animals from a given Russian biome through the development of a key.
- Explore the way that classification keys subdivide animals by asking a series of yes/ no questions.
- Create an interactive classification key to help identify a small group of ‘mystery’ plants and animals.
Children will:
- Take part in a live-action classification key
- Devise questions for a classification key that identifies plants and animals from all four Russian biomes
- Create and use an on-screen interactive key
