Which vertebrate is which?
2. I am carnivorous when I am adult, feeding on insects. I can get oxygen into my body using both my lungs and my skin. I must keep my skin moist at all time otherwise I will die by dehydration (drying out). I reproduce in fresh water and my eggs are fertilised outside my body.
What vertebrate am I?
3. My body is divided into three parts called a head, a thorax and an abdomen. I have a skeleton on the outside of my body called an exoskeleton, which isn’t made from bone. Fertilisation of my eggs takes place inside my body and my young are laid in soft eggs. I can fly.
Which group in the animal kingdom do I belong to? I Am An
Amphibian I Am An

2. A is a conifer E is a flowering plant B is algae F is algae
Some strange new plants have been discovered on a tropical island. Here is the not very scientific report on them.
Plant A doesn’t have leaves but green spikes grow on its branches.
Plant B is found growing on rocks near a stream. It looks like green slime.
Plant C has long green leaves which, when you rub their underside, brown powder comes off.
Plant D is found growing on damp ground in large clumps. It is furry to touch and doesn’t have any roots.
Plant E has pink fruit which are very tasty to eat.
Plant F looks like green dots and is found growing in a pond.
Plant G is very attractive to bees.
Classify the plants into the groups algae, mosses, ferns, conifers and flowering plants. (There may be more than one in a group)
A is a conifer E is a flowering plant
B is algae F is algae
C is a fern G is a flowering plant
D is moss
