Classifying Living Things

Nonliving things change to fit in better with their habitat.

To classify means to sort.

Living and nonliving things are classified into groups called kingdoms.

Plants start out as adult plants, then grow to seedlings, and then change to small seeds.

All living things have babies or make other living things like themselves.

Animals move from place to place, but plants do not.

A cactus is the only kind of living thing that can adapt to a desert habitat.

Reptiles are the largest group in the animal kingdom.

Scientists have already discovered and classified all of the animals in the world.

All living things create energy from food.
