Mammals and Birds - Decision Tree

An activity to sort mammals and birds using a branching tree diagram.

This is a TESiboard sorting and organising activity. This method of organisation is sometimes referred to as a branching database or a Key. A difficult concept to teach, this activity helps structure the sorting by allowing small numbers of items to be sorted first by asking yes/no questions. Introduce additional items by moving them down the tree, adding questions as required to further separate the items.
