What are they? What does vertebrate mean? An animal who only eats meat An animal without a backbone An animal with a backbone Answer: An animal with a backbone Are you a Verterbrate? What does a backbone do? -A backbone provides protection for the spinal cord. -A backbone makes the skeleton more flexible Is it advantageous to have a backbone? What would life be like if we didn’t have a backbone? What animals can you think of that have a Backbone? Is there any way we could shrink our list of vertebrates down? Classify them into groups! Vertebrates Can you list the five main Classes of Vertebrates? Fish Birds Mammals Reptiles Amphibians Which animal goes where?

Key Body Characteristics Feathers, beak and are warm blooded Method of Respiration: Takes in air through lungs Method of Movement: Wings to help them fly Method of Reproduction: Lay Eggs What kind of eaters are they?

Body Shape: Hair, Fur etc. Warm Blooded Method of Respiration: Takes in air through lungs Method of Movement: Walk on legs, Swim Method of Reproduction: Female gives birth What kind of eaters are they? Carnivore, Herbivore, and Omnivore What are the Characteristics of a Reptile? Key Body Characteristics Scales, Cold Blooded Method of Respiration: Breathe air even though some live in water Method of Movement: Walk on legs, Swim Method of Reproduction: Give birth by laying eggs What kind of eaters are they? Carnivore, Herbivore, and Omnivore What are the Characteristics of a Amphibian? Key Body Characteristics Cold Blooded, skin-no scales hair etc. Method of Respiration: Uses lungs on land, also takes Oxygen through skin to blood stream Method of Movement: Swim first then walk on legs as adult Method of Reproduction: Laying eggs in the Water What kind of eaters are they? Ingestion: Carnivores, Herbivores, Omnivores Closing Question Why do we divide vertebrates into different classifications, if they are all part of the same vertebrate family?
