Classifying

Scientists classify everything! At the beginning of lab, my kindergarten scientists sorted their classmates into groups using a single attribute (gender, color of eyes, etc.) Then we learned to use a Venn diagram to classify physical properties of objects with multiple attributes. The objects that have a property in common are placed in the intersection (where the circles overlap). We practiced math concepts, such as equal/unequal and more/less with this activity too.
