Vertebrates

Introductory Video

Objective: Students will identify vertebrates and classify some as birds and fish.Lesson 2.1 God's Design of Vertebrates

UniqueOne of a kindVerterbrate: An animal with a backbone

ClassifyTo sort into groups based on similarities and differences Warm blooded describes an animal whose body temperature does not change with the outside temperature. Its body produces the heat it needs.Warm-bloodedBirds are warm-blooded vertebrates with feathers, wings, and two feet. They have beaks instead of teeth.Birds

Cold-blooded describes an animal whose body temperature changes with the outside temperature. It needs the sun to warms its blood.Cold-bloodedFish are cold-blooded vertebrates that use gills to breathe. Most are covered with scales and have fins to swim.Fish

Objective: Students will continue their study of vertebrates by classifying some as mammals, reptiles, or amphibians.Lesson 2.2 Mammals, Reptiles, Amphibians

How is this animal classified and why?

Mammals are warm-blooded vertebrates that have hair. They make milk for their babies. They have lungs to breathe air.Mammals

Reptiles are cold-blooded vertebrates that have dry, scaly skin. They have lungs to breathe.Reptiles

Amphibians are cold-blooded vertebrates that have smooth, moist skin. Their bodies change as they grow.Amphibians

Objective: Students will identify dogs, cats, and guinea pigs as mammals and discuss each animals unique design.Lesson 2.3 Dogs, Cats, Guinea Pigs

Objective: Students will identify five distinguishing characteristics of reptiles and discuss specific features of iguanas.Lesson 2.4 Iguanas

Reptiles are vertebrates with dry, scaly skin. They use lungs to breathe. They are cold-blooded.ReptilesExamplesCan you name a reptile?alligator, crocodile, snake, lizard, turtle, and iguana *Iguanas are reptiles*There are many different kinds*They live in rain forests, deserts, and by the sea*They are not always green

Iguanas

*Some iguanas can grow to be over six feet long*Plants are their main food source*Gods special design -tail

What is a Reptile?ReviewObjective: Students will compare and contrast amphibians and reptiles. They will order the stages of an amphibians life cycle.Lesson 2.5 Frogs and Salamanders

Reptiles*Cold Blooded*Backbones *Scaly skin*Lay eggs on dry land*Breathe with lungs

Amphibians*Cold-blooded*Backbones*Smooth, moist skin*Lay eggs in or around water*Breathe with gills until they develop lungs*Go through metamorphosis
