Classification
The discovery of the multitude of kinds
of plants and animals helps children
understand why there must be a system
of sorting and naming them classification.
Children want to know how and why
plants and animals have been classified
and how the systems of classification
change as we learn more about biology.
When subjects flow into each other
like this, a child following an interest,
the knowledge is in a sense recreated by
the child and becomes a part of his long
term memory, instead of a subject to be
memorized, tested on and forgotten.
