The document provides instructions for an activity where students cut out pictures of animals and sort them into vertebrates and invertebrates. It defines vertebrates as animals with backbones including fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals and describes some of their key characteristics. Invertebrates are defined as animals without backbones, including segmented worms, echinoderms, and mollusks. Students are asked to create a Venn diagram comparing vertebrates and invertebrates and list examples found in their community.

2. .
• Draw animals and paste them on the
correct spot in the blank chart given by
the teacher. Then explain your work after
finishing the activity.

3. Cut out some pictures of animals. Decide if they belong
to vertebrate or invertebrate and paste them in the
correct spot. Explain your work after finishing the
activity.
Vertebrate Invertebrate

4. Make a Venn Diagram that explains the distinguishing
characteristics of vertebrates and invertebrates.

5. Vertebrates
• A vertebrate is an animal with a backbone.
Fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals,

6. • Vertebrates share some basic characteristics. A hollow
backbone and the cranium, or skull, protect the spinal cord
and brain of most vertebrates. All vertebrates reproduce by
mating between males and females.

7. Vertebrates
• Fish
• Amphibians
• Reptiles
• Birds
• Mammals

8. Segmented
worms
• Have long tube-like bodies that are divided into
segments.
• Take in dissolved oxygen from the water through
their skin.
• Examples of segmented worms may be earthworms
and leeches.

9. Echinoderms
• Have arms that extend from the middle body
outwards.
• Have tube feet that take in oxygen from the water.
• Examples may be sea stars

10. Mollusks
• Have soft bodies; most have a thick muscular foot
for movement or to open and close their shells.
• Examples may be slugs, snails, clams, and
octopuses.

11. • Vertebrates are creatures made by bones of a spinal
column and a backbone. The term derives from
vertebrae, the bones that make up the spines. The
skeleton keeps an animal's body up and covers it.
Vertebrates share some essential characteristics. A
hollow backbone and the cranium, or skull, shield
most vertebrates' spinal cord and brain. By mating
between males and females, all vertebrates
reproduce.

12. •An invertebrate is a cold-blooded animal
with no backbone. Invertebrates can live on
land—like insects, spiders, and worms—or
in water. Marine invertebrates include
crustaceans (such as crabs and lobsters),
mollusks (such as squids and clams), and
coral.

13. Direction: List down at least 5 vertebrates and 5 invertebrates found
in your community. Identify what group of vertebrate and
invertebrates the animals belong to.

14. ASSIGNMENT
• Cut pictures of different animals and identify
them according to their group, paste it in your
notebook.
