This document outlines a lesson plan on vertebrate animals. It includes activities where students will identify and group different vertebrates. The lesson introduces vertebrates and explains there are 5 main groups: mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles, and fish. Students will work in groups to list examples of each group and present their findings. They will also watch a video on vertebrates and complete worksheets identifying examples as belonging to different vertebrate groups. The goal is for students to understand the classification of vertebrates.
