You need 5 sheets of blank paper.
Place them in a stack.
Lower each sheet on top about ½ inch
lower from the sheet beneath it.
Now fold all five from the
bottom up, not all the way up.
2. You are making 10 equal size
tabs: 5 tabs you already have
on top and 5 with the bottom
half you are folding up. See
teacher example.
1.
Label each
tab on
front and
bottom as
seen here.
Animal Kingdom
Sponges
Cnidarians
Flat worms
Round worms
Mollusks
Annelids
Arthropods
Echinoderms
Chordates
Open the tab for Sponges. (lift the one
above labeled Animal Kingdom)
 On the top of each section, you will make
some drawings of sample animals in each
phylum.
 On the bottom, you will draw the same
chart and fill in the missing information
using your brain, google, ask jeeves, bio
text book, encyclopedia, or personal
experience. ( you are part of this
kingdom!)
