Animals that lay eggs worksheet - Free Printable

Let me work through this problem step by step.

I need to sort the 8 animals into two categories:
1. Animals that lay eggs
2. Animals that do not lay eggs

The animals shown are:
- cat
- frog
- cow
- fish
- turtle
- lizard
- bird
- dog

Let me think about each one:

Animals that lay eggs:
- Frog - Yes, frogs lay eggs (usually in water)
- Fish - Yes, most fish lay eggs
- Turtle - Yes, turtles lay eggs on land
- Lizard - Yes, lizards lay eggs
- Bird - Yes, birds lay eggs

Animals that do NOT lay eggs (they give birth to live young):
- Cat - No, cats give birth to live kittens
- Cow - No, cows give birth to live calves
- Dog - No, dogs give birth to live puppies

So the sorting is:
- Animals that lay eggs: frog, fish, turtle, lizard, bird (5 animals)
- Animals that do not lay eggs: cat, cow, dog (3 animals)

Final Answer:
Animals that lay eggs: frog, fish, turtle, lizard, bird

Animals that do not lay eggs: cat, cow, dog
