Students learned to classify living things throughout our project. They learned that by classifying living things, scientists are able to organize and better understand the basic similarities and differences between plants and animals. Students also learned to classify plants and animals into groups. Plants are grouped as trees, shrubs, or grass. Animals are grouped according to their features and characteristics. The different groups are mammals, reptiles, fish, amphibians, birds, and insects. 

Our kindergartners also learned how to research a topic, write an informative writing piece, create a scientific drawing by engaging in the peer critique and revision process, as well as code using Scratch.
