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 in two main groups, Vertebrate or Invertebrate


               All Vertebrates have

• Covering of skin to protect them 
• Skeleton inside their body 
• Muscles that help them move
• Blood move through tubes
• lungs or gills for breathing                

• 90% of all animals are invertebrates!
• Tend to be small because they do not have a backbone
• Many live in the ocean because the water helps support their weight 
• some have hard covering or shell on the outside of their bodies for protection
