Summary
Can your class spot the vertebrates vs invertebrates?
- First, students will listen to examples and non-examples to guess a topic, next they will think about the patterns in these items, then they can discuss their ideas with others, and finally they will prepare to see more items in the next video.
- First, the teacher will present three items without telling students if they are examples or non-examples, next, students will decide which category each item belongs to, then they can discuss their choices with friends, and finally, they will return for the closing video.
- First, students will identify jellyfish as examples of invertebrates, then they will recognize snakes and dolphins as non-examples because they have backbones, and finally, they will learn that invertebrates do not possess backbones while vertebrates do.
