How can living things be grouped?Living things can be grouped based on their characteristics, such as animals, plants, fungi, and microorganisms, or by features like how they move, what they eat, or where they live.
What is a classification key, and how is it used?A classification key is a tool that helps us identify and group living things by asking a series of questions about their characteristics, leading to the correct name or group.
How can changes in the environment affect living things?Changes such as pollution, deforestation, or climate change can harm habitats, make it harder for animals and plants to survive, and sometimes cause species to become endangered or extinct.
