|content= Lesson activity and sample materials.  
|content= This lesson ideas asks students to sort images of living things into groups. They may do this on the computer using photo album software to organise the images, add labels or descriptions if appropriate. When that is done, students can think of other groups or categories to sort living things. The idea can also work as a lesson starter where you may want to use it to discuss points about classification in science.

| Learning Objectives =
* To have experience of and develop confidence with the different ways in which living things can be classified into groups
* To have experience and develop confidence with the different ways in which living things can be classified into groups.
* To develop knowledge of and use some of the characteristics of living things and ways to classify and organise them.
* To develop knowledge of and use characteristics of living things to classify them.
|additional resources= See activity outline below - you'll need sets of photos and computers to allow pupils to organise the materials
|additional resources=Access to computers or tablet will allow pupils to organise the images supplied using photo organization/slideshow software (such as Picasa).  
|useful information= Using photo organization/slideshow software (Picasa) students organise images that have been provided into various groups or categories. They may also add labels and/or descriptions where appropriate.

* An [[Classifying and organising living things using images/activity|activity outline]]
* The activity outline includes links to photographs of living things in one zip file, see  [[Classifying and organising living things using images/activity|activity outline for more information.]]
* The activity outline also mentions a further task which is to label or annotate the astronomy images supplied.
* The images are also available individually (on this wiki), and you can
** preview the images here: [[Classifying and organising living things using images/images|preview for images of living things]] or
** view them as a [[Classifying_and_organising_living_things_using_images/slideshow|browser-based slideshow]],
** download a zip file [[File:Images of living things slideshow.zip]] for local use, or
** [[Classifying and organising living things using images/astronomy_images|preview astronomy images]]
 
You can also download an open office slideshow of images of living things here: [[File:living things slideshow.odp]]


Extension to Astronomy images:
Second activity is more an annotation or show and tell one with a set of astronomy images that studenst could annotate, label (with tablet) or organise
