  1. Animal search
    Learning objects

    L1134 Animal search

    • Published 10/04/2020
    • TLF-ID L1134

    Sort animals into groups based on their physical features. For example, identify a group of animals that have a backbone, then identify a subset that have slimy skin. Work through a list of features to classify animals and identify a given vertebrate: fish, amphibian, reptile or mammal. This learning object combines four objects in the same series (excluding spoken instructions).
