ABSTRACT
This chapter groups living things in a variety of ways. It explores and uses classification keys to identify and name a variety of living things in their local and wider environment. The chapter recognises that environments can change and that this can sometimes pose dangers to living things. It describes scientific procedures and clear instructions that outline the simple equipment required for carrying out each procedure. It provides National Curriculum assessment indicators and illustrates how to carry out the primary science experiments and what results to expect. Suggestions for adapting each procedure or activity to the special needs and interests of the students are discussed.
