Evolution Vertebrates

In Room 6 we have been learning to classify animals scientists classify animals and plants into groups in order to easily classify identity, sort and name them.

Classify=Sort There are many ways to group organisms

You can classify animals into in two main groups



All Vertebrates have

• Covering of skin that protects them
• Skeleton inside their body
• Muscles that help them move
• Blood moves through tubes
• Lungs or gills for breathing

Invertebrates

• 90% of all animals are invertebrates
• Invertebrates tend to be small because they do not have a backbone
• any live in the ocean because the water helps support their weight
• Some have a hard shell or covering on the outside for protection- Insects, spiders, crabs, snails, clams
