==Key Stage 2=Used in ====Meaning===To '''classify''' is to put [[Object|objects]], [[Material|materials]] and [[Alive|living things]] into groups with similar features or [[Property|properties]].===About Classification===: '''Classification''' helps us organise the world into meaningful groups. If I wanted to make a sword I might use [[Iron]], but if I didn't have any [[Iron]] I couldn't make a sword out of brick, so I would look for another [[material]] that is '''classified''' as a Sentence'[[metal]]' because it has similar [[Property|properties]] to [[Iron]].: '''Classifying''' things helps us [[identify]] them. If I'm not sure what something is, I can look at its features or [[Property|properties]] to classify it. ===Examples===Which is the correct '''classification''' of a Bat?[[File:Bat.png|left|400px|thumb|This Bat has wings, fur, feeds its young with milk and does not lay eggs.]] {| class="wikitable"|-|[[File:Robin.png|center|200px]]|[[File:Frog.png|center|200px]]|-| style="height:20px; width:100px; text-align:center;" | [[Bird|Birds]] have feathers and lay eggs.| style="height: A scientist classifies 20px; width:100px; text-align:center;" | [[Amphibian|Amphibians]] can survive under water and on land and lay soft eggs.|-|[[File:Reptile.png|center|200px]]|[[File:Fox.png|center|200px]]|-| style="height:20px; width:100px; text-align:center;" | [[Reptile|Reptiles]] has dry scales and lay eggs.| style="height:20px; width:100px; text-align:center;" | [[Mammal|Mammals]] have fur and feed their bricks by young with milk.|} How would you '''classify''' the material that this sword is made from?[[File:MetalSword.png|left|400px|thumb|This sword is hard, shiny and opaque.]] {| class="wikitable"|-|[[File:TyreRubber.png|center|200px]]|[[colourFile:Wood.png|center|200px]]|-| style="height:20px; width:100px; text-align:center;" | [[Rubber]] is a stretchy, bendy, opaque and waterproof material.| style="height: A scientist classified their bricks by 20px; width:100px; text-align:center;" | [[shapeWood]]is a hard, opaque and bendy material that grows inside trees.|-|[[File: A scientist used classification by Metal.png|center|200px]]|[[textureFile:CupGlass.png|center|200px]] to arrange |-| style="height:20px; width:100px; text-align:center;" | [[AnimalMetal]] is a hard, smooth, shiny, bendy and opaque material.|animalsstyle="height:20px; width:100px; text-align:center;" | [[Glass]] into two listsis a hard, smooth, shiny, transparent, firm and stiff material.|}
