Educational worksheet on classifying living organisms, featuring a word bank and interactive questions.

Let’s go step by step to fill in the blanks using the Word Bank.

---

First paragraph:

> Living things, or ________________, can move, reproduce, and ________________. They can be split into a few main groups, including animals, ________________, and micro-organisms. These groups can be divided even further based on the similarities and ________________ between the things in them. The process of organising things into these groups is called ________________.

From the Word Bank:
- “Living things” are also called organisms.
- They can move, reproduce, and grow (common life processes).
- Main groups: animals, plants, and micro-organisms.
- Groups are divided by similarities and differences.
- The process is called classification.

✔ So far:
1. organisms
2. grow
3. plants
4. differences
5. classification

Second paragraph:

> Animals are divided into two groups: vertebrates and ________________. Vertebrates have a backbone, such as mammals, ________________, and birds. Invertebrates don’t have a ________________, like jellyfish, ________________, and worms. It is possible to continue grouping the animals even further. For example, a tiger is a mammal and a ________________, whereas a ________________ is also a mammal, but unlike a tiger, it is a herbivore.

From the Word Bank:
- Two animal groups: vertebrates and invertebrates.
- Examples of vertebrates: mammals, reptiles, and birds.
- Invertebrates don’t have a backbone.
- Examples of invertebrates: jellyfish, spiders, and worms.
- A tiger is a mammal and a carnivore (eats meat).
- Another mammal that’s a herbivore — look at word bank: squirrel fits (eats nuts/plants).

✔ Next answers:
6. invertebrates
7. reptiles
8. backbone
9. spiders
10. carnivore
11. squirrel

*(Note: The image shows a squirrel next to this section — good clue!)*

Third paragraph:

> Plants can be split into those with seeds or those ________________ seeds. For example, ferns and mosses ________________ using spores instead of seeds and were around millions of years before the dinosaurs. Flowering plants and ________________ do have seeds and reproduce using the process of ________________.

From the Word Bank:
- Plants with seeds or those without seeds.
- Ferns and mosses reproduce using spores.
- Flowering plants and conifers have seeds.
- They reproduce using pollination.

✔ Final answers:
12. without
13. reproduce
14. conifers
15. pollination

Now let’s list all 15 answers in order:

1. organisms
2. grow
3. plants
4. differences
5. classification
6. invertebrates
7. reptiles
8. backbone
9. spiders
10. carnivore
11. squirrel
12. without
13. reproduce
14. conifers
15. pollination

All words used are from the Word Bank. No repeats needed. All fit logically.

Final Answer:
organisms, grow, plants, differences, classification, invertebrates, reptiles, backbone, spiders, carnivore, squirrel, without, reproduce, conifers, pollination
