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.

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 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!

I made this genially as a review of vertebrates and invertebrates animals. 
The presentation is divided into four sections/games. The students need to finish each game to get to the next one.

This is an activity for the students to learn about vertebrates, specifically, amphibians and reptiles. Each wheel has the main characteristics of the type of vertebrate, including the body covering, how they breath, where do they live and how they are born.

There is also one of mammals and birds:

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.

This presentation is focused on the 5 types of vertebrate animals: mammals, fish, birds, amphibians and reptiles. They'll see some characteristics and facts about them.

I love this story from Erik Brooks. I downloaded it from youtube.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GLwXMBeMHg "Polar Opposites"
It's great for practising listening comprehension but also to talk about similarities and differences. The story is about a polar bear and a penguin who live on opposite sides of the world. They are different but they also have some things in common...They live in cold places, they are vertebrates... Try to elicit some more answers from your students!
After your students have listened and discussed about the story, they can write some similarities and differences between Alex and Zina. I'd project it on the board and check the answers together. Since there are not so many similarities in the story, your students will have to use their previous knowledge about the animals.
