Animals including Humans To research invertebrates and vertebrates

Sticky knowledge! What do you remember about these animals? Mammal Bird Reptile Amphibian Fish Which animal group are they in? What characteristics do they have? (hair, wings etc) Can you name another animal in the same group?

Animal groups To help us remember, scientists have identified 6 main animals groups. Let’s look at this group of animals today! Can you repeat the name ‘Invertebrates’ after your adult! It’s quite tricky!

Invertebrates are animals which have NO backbone. Find out a little bit more in the following video! Make some notes in your work book! • https: //www. bbc. co. uk/bitesize/topics/zxfrwmn/articles/zvcpnrd So vertebrates are the opposite! They DO HAVE a backbone. Watch the video below!

Workbooks In your workbooks, I would like you to make two columns. See my example below. The title of each column is ‘Invertebrates’ and ‘Vertebrates’. Look at the pictures of the different animals below. Can you write them in the correct column? You can either draw or write their names. Invertebrates butterfly hen dragonfly Vertebrates fish dog worm squid frog
