Discover the Features of Animals in Different Classes

Learning about different animal traits and characteristics can be fascinating for kids. It helps them understand and appreciate the wildlife on our planet. Teaching young learners about the features of animals in different classes gives them a framework to categorize and understand more about the inhabitants of the animal kingdom and our planet. This year, we invite you to try out new and engaging life science worksheets and hands-on activities from Teach Starter!

Cut and Paste the Characteristics of Living Things

These printable animal characteristic worksheets are the perfect tool to help your students show what they know about the different classes of animals. To use, students will cut apart the series of statements and match/glue them beneath the animal that holds those characteristics.

This resource is an excellent summarizing activity for the end of your unit, or it can serve as a formative assessment once your main lessons have been taught.
