Reader Description

Throughout history, people have been fascinated by sorting things in to groups. It happens with the music on your MP3 player and with your grandma's teaspoon collection. It also happens in the animal and plant kingdoms. This report will tell you all about taxonomy, the science of classification.

After you have completed the Reader

Reread pages 10 to 11 about how taxonomy might work in the transport kingdom. Choose another example, such as the music kingdom and create a classification diagram. Share the diagram with your family. Can they add any other classifications to your diagram?
