About this worksheet
A Year 6 word search on classifying living things, over two pages with the answer key. Twelve words hide in a grid of 11 rows and 12 columns, and they read forwards, backwards, upwards, downwards and diagonally. The list mixes animal groups such as AMPHIBIAN, ARACHNID and MOLLUSC with BACTERIA, FUNGUS, FLOWERING, VERTEBRATE and INVERTEBRATE. The key gives the start and end square of each word. It suits England National Curriculum work on classifying living things into broad groups.
