Vertebrates resources

Students indicate the links between different examples of vertebrate animals and their classification features by shading the correct links on the diagram provided.

Students are asked to identify the larger group that each of the following animals belongs to: turtle; swan; lizard; deer; frog; and rabbit. An example has been given to model this task.

This practical task assesses students' understanding of the different features of the vertebrate groups. Students need to identify the larger group that their animal card belongs too, then work with other students with the same group to write down all the features of that group.

This practical task assesses students' ability to identify the larger animal group that four vertebrate animals belong to and then identify the features that those groups have using labels.
