This hard-level worksheet pushes second graders into deeper thinking with four multiple-choice questions about classification, including why a whale is a mammal even though it lives in the ocean and which animal group has feathers and lays eggs. Five fill-in-the-blank questions then reinforce key facts about mammals feeding babies milk, amphibians moving from water to land, and the hard shell that protects a turtle's body.
