Challenge About this type of Scientific Enquiry

Research Carl Linneaus who created

the system of taxonomy, which is how

we classify living things.

Identifying and classifying is how we can make

sense and order of the world around us. This

enquiry type requires using observation and

reasoning skills.

Examples of classifying include how we

classify animals (into mammals, reptiles etc),

plants and foods.

Identifying and classifying is used by

scientists to help learn about the natural

world.

Question

Can you identify trees on a local walk,

by being a leaf detective?

This week, we would like you to be leaf detectives! Ask an adult to take a walk with you in

your local area (or if this is not possible, ask a relative or friend if they could kindly collect

some leaves to drop off at your house)

Use the Leaf ID chart- you could print it out and take it with you, or collect the leaves and

bring them back home to compare on your tablet/ computer.

Can you identify the leaves you have collected/ seen? Look at their shape, texture and

colour to help you.

Take care! Some leaves may be spiky. Also, when collecting leaves, please wash your hands

thoroughly with soap afterwards.

Activity

Use the Leaf ID chart to identify your leaves. Do you notice any similarities or differences

between different leaves? Think about the shape, colour and texture of the leaves.

Extension

Create a classification key to identify

your selected objects, similar to this

one:
