What is nervous system?

Our topic yesterday was all about the
nervous system.

Very Good!

What are the parts of The nervous system is a network of cells

nervous system? and tissue that controls thought, movement,
and life processes. It controls all the parts of
our body.
Among those parts, what is
the control center of

B. Developmental Activities

 Motivation

WHAT AM I?

(Presented pictures of animals)

Here are some

riddles. Choose
your answer from the pictures.
Yes, Ma’am.

- I am a bird but cannot fly. My body is

Very Good!

What do you think are the riddles all

about?

You’re right!

Today, we will be studying about animals

particularly the vertebrates and It is all about animals.
invertebrates.

Are you all ready?

 Discussion Proper

The vertebrate animals may be grouped

based on their common features such as
skin covering, habitat and food eaten.
Fish, Reptiles, mammals, Amphibians
and Birds. Most vertebrates have a
backbone made of bones, such as the
shark, do not have a bony backbone.
Instead, they have vertebrae made of
cartilage (the soft white bone). (Show
some pictures of Vertebrates.

Invertebrates are animals that do not
have backbones. Sponges, jellyfish,
worms, insects, and clams are all
invertebrates. (Show some pictures of

discussion today? the vertebrates and invertebrates.

Expected answer:

What are vertebrates? Vertebrates are animals with the backbones.

Very Good!
What are the different group of The different group of vertebrates are fish,
vertebrates? bird, mammals, reptiles and amphibians.

Very well!

How about, What is invertebrates? Invertebrates are animals without a

backbone.

Excellent!

What are the different group of The different group of invertebrates are
invertebrates? sponges, cnidarians, roundworms,
segmented worms, mollusks, arthropods,
and echinoderms.

Very Good!

Did you understand class? Yes, we are!

What are the differences between Vertebrate are animal with the backbone
vertebrates and invertebrates? while invertebrates are animals without
