Show transcript
Scientists group animals to make it easier to identify, name and learn about them.
Animals can be divided into groups or 'classified' by looking at the similarities and differences between them.
Animals are divided into two main groups: vertebrates (with a spine) and invertebrates (without a spine).
Vertebrate and invertebrate groups can be divided further.
We can create classification keys by asking a series of yes/no questions about the observable characteristics of things.
