Lots of our lapbooks and unit studies at Homeschool Share include animal classification elements. Even some of our preschool resources teach your student the basics of classifying animals.
However, having one Animal Classification Lapbook that included a thorough introduction and solid foundation seemed like a fantastic idea, and it was.
A huge thanks to Tristan Rowlee for preparing the original animal classification lapbook for Homeschool Share.
Animal Classification Lapbook Lessons
This lapbook is different than our other animal studies. It doesn’t include pages of lessons. Instead, the answers are simple and found within the lapbook templates.
We do encourage you to grab animal classification books from your local library.
We suggest that you use the topics in the following order:
- Learning the divisions of taxonomy.
- Learning the terms vertebrate and invertebrate.
- Learning the five classes of vertebrates: birds, fish, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians.
- Learning the four main classes of invertebrates included in the animal classification lapbook: annelid, mollusk, arthropod, and echinoderm.
