1. Animals Directions Week 6 Prepare your desk for science.
Use voice level 2 (conversation) to discuss this question: What is a vertebrate? What are the 5 groups? What are examples of each?
If you have OLD homework or quizzes to turn in, please put them on the desk up front.

2. Targets & Warm Up
Targets: Students will classify animals based on their structures. Warm Up: What does classify mean?

3. Classify
Classify: arrange (a group of people or things) in classes or categories according to shared qualities or characteristics.

4. An animal that has a backbone
Vertebrate
An animal that has a backbone
ver·te·bra (noun): one of the small bones that are linked together to form the backbone

5. An animal that does not have a backbone

7. Arthropods Sponges Sea stars Worms Mollusks
5 major invertebrate groups (there are more, but these are some of the main ones)
Arthropods Sponges Sea stars Worms Mollusks

8. Arthropods Largest group of invertebrates
Jointed legs; legs and bodies divided into sections
Covered by a hard, lightweight outer skin called an exoskeleton
Examples: insects, spiders, crabs, shrimp

9. A spider molting, or shedding, its exoskeleton so it can grow.
A cicada molting, or shedding its exoskeleton as it finishes its life cycle.

10. Cicada

11. Sponges Have many pores
Live permanently attached to a place in the water
Examples:
Barrel Sponge
Branching Tube Sponge

12. Sea stars Some have spiny skin Able to regenerate (grow) new limbs
Examples: sea stars

13. A sea star's skeleton is made up of many plates that move like flexible joints

14. Worms Some have bodies made of segments Other have simpler bodies
Examples: earthworms, leeches, tapeworms

15. Mollusks Have soft bodies May have a shell or shells
Examples: snails, oysters, squids, octopuses

16. What type of invertebrate is it?

19. Vertebrate or Invertebrate?1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

20. Review What is a vertebrate? What is an invertebrate?
What is the major difference in support/structures for vertebrates and invertebrates?
What are the vertebrate groups?
What are the (main) invertebrate groups?

21. Targets (Revisited)
Targets: Students will classify animals based on their structure.
