Lesson Plan of Classification & Characteristics of Vertebrates

Students’ Learning Outcomes
Classify vertebrates into fishes,

Information for teachers
·
Vertebrates are divided into five major
groups i. e. fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals.
·
Fish have no legs and they swim and
live in water. They have fins for swimming.
·
Amphibians have legs. Their skin is
moist. They can live both in water and on land. They swim in water and hop on
land e. g. frog.
·
Reptiles have legs. Their skin has
scales. They crawl on land e. g. snake.
·
Birds have legs. Their skin has feathers.
They live on land and can fly in air e. g. sparrow.
·
Mammals have legs. They have hair on
their skin. They feed their young ones on milk. Most mammals live on land and
can run e. g. goat, cow.

Show the pictures of fish, frog, sparrow, lizard
and dog to students.
·
Divide the class into five groups and give one
picture of animal to each group.
·
Ask the students to observe the picture very
closely and point out the major distinguishing features.
·
After five minutes ask each group
leader to present the characteristics of the given animals in front of the
class.
·
Simultaneously make and fill a table on
the board in the light of students’ presentations to summarize the
characteristics of various animals.
·
Facilitate the students if they give
incorrect information and also explain more characteristics of each group of
vertebrates. Use the book for this purpose.

HELLO GET OUT OF FINANCIAL MESS WITH THE HELP OF drbenjaminfinance@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI have been in financial mess for the past months, I’m a single mum with kids to look after. My name is REBECCA MICHAELSON, and am from Ridley Park, Pennsylvania. A couple of weeks ago My friend visited me and along our discussion she told me about DR BENJAMIN OWEN FINANCE of (drbenjaminfinance@gmail.com); that he can help me out of my financial situation, I never believed cause I have spend so much money on different loan lenders who did nothing other than running away with my money. She advised, I gave it a try because she and some of her colleagues were rescued too by this Godsent lender with loans to revive their dying businesses and paying off bills. so I mailed him and explain all about my financial situation and therefore took me through the loan process which was very brief and easy. After that my loan application worth $278,000.00USD was granted, all i did was to follow the processing and be cooperative and today I am a proud business owner sharing the testimony of God-sent Lender. You can as well reach him through the Company WhatsApp +19292227023 Email drbenjaminfinance@gmail.com
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Wonderful❤
