One collection, several groups - Paper 1

Read the information, then answer the questions. An adult may read the instructions aloud. Show your working where asked.

Read before answering

Supplied animal facts: duck has wings and a backbone; dragonfly has wings but no backbone. Vertebrates have backbones; invertebrates do not. A different sorting rule can create a different grouping. Use these facts, not an unseen photograph; do not capture animals to check.
