Study Notes
- Animals can be divided into different groups.
Vertebrate Animals
- Vertebrates are animals with a backbone and firm bodies.
- Muscles connect to the skeleton in vertebrates.
- Humans are vertebrates.
- Examples of vertebrates include dogs, bats, eagles, monkeys, and fish.
Invertebrate Animals
- Invertebrates do not have a backbone.
- Invertebrates have soft inner bodies that are held in shape by:
- Flexible covering of outer cells
- A hard covering called an exoskeleton
- Examples of invertebrates include spiders, butterflies, starfish, octopus and ants.
Warm Blooded vs Cold Blooded Animals
- Warm-blooded animals maintain a constant internal body temperature regardless of their surroundings
- Cold-blooded animals' body temperature changes with the external environment.
Activities
- Classify animals as either vertebrate (V) or invertebrate (I): fly, octopus, ant, seagull, bear, rabbit, canary, caterpillar
- Determine if the following statements are true (V) or false (F):
- Insects are invertebrate animals
- Vertebrate animals have a vertebral column
- All vertebrate animals have four limbs
- Invertebrate animals are human beings
- Vertebrate animals do not fly
