DO: SWBAT describe the sub categories of mammals
DQ: What is the difference between monotremes and marsupials?

2. Thinking Map Directions
Make a Classifying Thinking Map (tree map) with 10 divisions - USE A RULER!
Label the Top line with Phylum Chordata (vertebrates)
Label the second tier lines with each class. Mammals will be sub-divided into 3.

3. Introduction to Phylum Chordata (pages 2-3)
Power Paragraph:
Part I List and describe the major characteristics of the Phylum ( Facts w explanations/examples ~ 2 sentences)
List and describe the Vertebrate Classes ( 7 sets of Facts w/explanations and examples)
Use lined notebook paper
Trim and paste into Journal
Part II Draw small illustrations of an animal from each class
They should be detailed, shaded, and colored
Put them in your Journal on the opposite page of your paragraph
Label each picture with the name of the animal and the class it belongs to

4. Wild Journal Power Paragraph
Topic Sentence introduces the phylum chordata
Part I (body) List and describe the major characteristics of the Phylum ( Facts w explanations/examples ~ 2 sentences)
IE: The major characteristics of the phylum Chordata are that they have a dorsal nerve cords, a notochord and phalangeal slits. The dorsal nerve cord ___________________, the notochord ______________________ and pharyngeal gill slits are for ___________________________.
List and describe the Vertebrate Classes ( 7 sets of Facts w/explanations and examples) – 7 yellow and pink sentences for EACH vertebrate class.
We have covered 3 so far
Agnatha
Chondricthyes
Osteichthyes

Mammalia

5. Make the following data table in your notebook
Common Name of Vertebrate
Tally
Observations of physical traits
Sketch
Scientific Name of Vertebrate
(Genus & Species)
habitat
Food chain relationships
(ie: predator or prey)
*eat?

6. Scientific Drawing pages 4-5
Make a scientific drawing of one of the vertebrates you saw at the park.
Follow all of the instructions previously taught on scientific drawings
Refer to the instruction sheet for clarification
DO NOT DRAW ANY LINES OR CIRCLES FREE HAND!!!!
The drawing and labeling should be on page 3
The observation and research should be on page 4
