Grouping living things
Plants and animals can be divided into groups by looking at the similarities and differences between them.
Plants
Plants are divided into two groups, flowering plants and non-flowering plants.
Animals
Animals are divided into two main groups. Animals that have a backbone are called vertebrates. Animals that don't have a backbone are called invertebrates.
Vertebrates and invertebrates are divided into smaller groups. Vertebrates, for example, are divided into fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals.
