In this Lab-Aids® kit students sort and classify figures of various shapes and colors to gain a sense of order and an understanding that things (organisms, rocks, materials, etc) can be arranged into groups based on physical characteristics, or traits. Students discover for themselves that there are various kinds of characteristics and that these characteristics can be used in grouping, identifying, and comparing objects. They then apply the understanding of classification gained through experience with the figures to actual classification systems used in the sciences.
