About Classification
When we put things in groups we are classifying them. We put things in groups because it helps us organise the world.
Examples

- A scientist puts all their triangle blocks in one pile and all of their square blocks in another.
- A scientist writes down lists of animals naming all the ones with fur in one list and all the ones that don't have fur in another list.
