Instructional Procedures:
Session 1.
Materials needed:
-

Planned beginning:
We use classification to make our lives easier .so we can memorize , remember, or deal
with things fluently. As we classify and organize our clothes we put socks together and
our panties together so if we want any it will be easy for us to bring it since we are used
that there is its place . Everything in live can be categorized for example animals is a
very big family some live under water like fish and some on land like kitties.
So we can organize them into two groups according to their characteristics.

Body
Show students pictures for both groups so they can remember the names of the animals
and try to help them memorize to what group they do belong

Natural environments and the animals that live in them can be categorized as aquatic (water)
or terrestrial (land).
An aquatic animal is an animal, either vertebrate or invertebrate, which lives in water for most
or all of its life.[1] It may breathe air or extract its oxygen from that dissolved in water through
specialized organs
called gills, or directly through its skin. Examples: Starfish ,Octopus

Terrestrial animals live on land. Most have lungs to breathe air and their limbs are usually
stronger (it takes more strength to support body weight on land than in water) and adapted to
move on land.
