♻️ 17 DE MAYO DÍA INTERNACIONAL DEL RECICLAJE ♻️ 

I made this Genially to talk about invertebrate animales. First, you could start asking about the difference between vertebrate and invertebrate animals and then focus on the ARTHROPODS. I just mentioned: insects, spiders and crustaceans. 
Students can match pictures and find key vocabulary in a word search.
There is a video you can watch.

I made this to introduce vertebrate and invertebrate animals. First, I compare an insect and a mammal (try to elicit the answer). Then, I continue by asking about bones. Do all animals have bones? They'll see some examples. You may try asking for more. 
Send me a message and I'll send you the PPT.

Quiz Game

PowerPoint presentation of a quiz game about vertebrate and invertebrate animals. Contains illustrative images of each of the letters. No need to print it.

This material is suitable for children from 7 years old. It contains a wide variety of graphics and activities, especially designed for them. Its purpose is to allow children to develop their psychomotor skills, while having fun learning. 

On our website you will find other content from this same series.

Here I leave you an assessment about Vertebrate and Invertebrate Animals. You can choose to make it formal or informal, at the beginning or end of the unit. 

I did this assessment with my friend Paula Martínez. 

I tried to share it on PDF, but there is one of the pages that is on another direction, so I couldn't save it on the same file. Let me know if it looks weird!

CN02 OA01: Observe, describe and classify vertebrate animals into mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles or fish, according to some of their characteristics, such as body covering, breathing structure, presence or absence of mammal glands, among others. 

CN02 OA02: Observe, describe and classify invertebrate animals into different groups, such as crustaceans, insects and arachnids, and compare them with vertebrate animals.

This is an assessment on which students have to apply what they learnt about vertebrate and invertebrate animals, by searching for examples on magazines, newspapers or internet, and classify them according to whether they have or not a backbone. They also need to classify vertebrates into mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles and fish, and invertebrates into crustaceans, insects and arachnids, relating each of these groups with to different colours.

This is a review for vertebrate and invertebrate animals. You can use it as a review worksheet before a test, homework, or even as a formative assessment. 
After studying about gifted and talented students, I realized is a good idea to give them this worksheet even before the start of the unit, to see if there are some kids that already know this information. 

I did this resource with my friend Paula Martínez.

CN02 OA2: Identify, describe and classify characteristics of invertebrate animals, such as insects, arachnids and crustaceans, among others, and compare them with vertebrate animals. 

This worksheet is a good chance to begin with guided investigation. The idea is for students to research about crustaceans and complete the graphic organizer with the information they find. They don't necessarily need to research in books or in the internet, but they may also use worksheets, videos and Power Points from their 
Science lessons or their Science notebook to look for the information. It depends on the kind of activity the teacher wants to use it for.

 In the attached file, you will find two guides focused on the classification and conceptualization of vertebrate and invertebrate animals. These include detailed definitions, interactive activities, and experience recording.

All content is aligned with the learning objective CN2 OA01: “Observar, describir y clasificar, por medio de la exploración, las características de los animales sin columna vertebral, como insectos, arácnidos, crustáceos, entre otros, y compararlos con los vertebrados"  

The document includes one conceptualization guide, one classification guide, and flashcards featuring animals to support the activity.

This material is suitable for children from 8 years old. It contains a wide variety of graphics and activities, especially designed for them. Its purpose is to allow children to develop their psychomotor skills, while having fun learning.

Print, cut out and use these cards to review the topic. We suggest printing this product on thick paper or cardboard, for better use.
