First we divide the animal kingdom by whether or not they have a backbone. Then we look at other characteristics like what they eat, where they live, and their body temperature. The groups we’ll study are amphibians, birds, fish, mammals and reptiles. For invertebrates we’ll divide them into insects, arachnids, and crustaceans and mollusks.  
For plants, we’ll talk about the way we see and use plants in everyday life.
Every project has 5 steps and 5 main ingredients plus you’ll want to keep basic supplies like scissors, markers, toothpicks and rulers on hand.  Remember – be creative!   And let’s learn about living things.
