Classification of living things is a way to put them into groups that share the same traits. A dichotomous key helps us break down the traits of living things so we can categorize them.
Use the dichotomous key to reach the names of each of the 12 animals AND the pathway you used to get there. This is about learning to use a key – not about knowing the names of these common animals (it is assumed you know their names). So use the blanks under the animal pictures to write the animal names AND the numbers in the key you follows to reach their names.
