MODULE IN SCIENCE 6
Second Quarter / Week 5 / Day 1

OBJECTIVE:
Let’s Target This
Good day! Today, you are going to explore the world of Science. You have learned that
animals can be divided into groups – vertebrates and invertebrates. Both of these can be divided into
smaller groups. It’s my pleasure to introduce to you, another group of animals today. After studying this
module, you will be able to describe the characteristics of the following groups of invertebrates:
- insects and spiders.

YOUR LESSON:
Let’s Study This
Invertebrates are animals that do not have backbone. There are eight large groups of
invertebrates: Porifera, Coelenterates, Platyhelminthes, Nematoda, Annelida, Mollusca, Echinoderms
and Arthropods

Arthropoda (Arthropods) Arthropoda or Arthropods are joint-legged animals. They make up the
largest group in the animal kingdom. Their legs are jointed. Their bodies and legs are made up of
sections. They have an outside shell called the exoskeleton. Arthropods are divided into five groups:
insects, arachnids, crustaceans, centipedes and millipedes.

Insects are small, six-legged animals or have three pairs of Parts of insects
walking legs, one or two pairs of wings and a pair of antennae. Their
bodies are divided into three parts: the head, the thorax, and the
abdomen. They change their form as they grow. They are the most
numerous animals on earth. Bees, ants, wasps, butterflies, cockroaches,
ladybugs, fireflies, termites, moths and grasshopper are insects.

Arachnids have four pairs of walking

legs. They have two body segments and no antennae. Some possess
spinnerets where they spin silk thread into webs, cocoons and nests like
spiders. Most arachnids live on land and few live on water. Examples of
arachnids are scorpions, mites, ticks and spiders.

Spider is an example
of arachnids

What you are expected to learn in this module?
 Understand the characteristics of the following groups of
invertebrates-worms, shellfish and snail.
INTRODUCTION
Of all the living organisms on Earth, the vast majority of animals species do not
have backbones. These animals are called INVERTEBRATES.

OBJECTIVE: Describe the characteristics of the following groups of

Invertebrates – worms, shellfish and snail.
LETS LEARN:
How are animals different from other forms of life ?
A. WORM- invertebrate animals with long, slender soft bodies and no limbs.
Three types of Worms
1. Flatworms- which have ribbon-like bodies 2. Roundworms- which have a body cavity
with no body cavity. but no segments.

3. Segmented worms- which have both a

body cavity and segmented bodies.

B. SHELLFISH- they have shells instead of backbones.

Two Group of Shellfish

1. Mollusks- soft bodies that are partially covered by hard shells.

Examples:

Oysters Clams Scallops

2. Crustaceans- covered by firm shells and have segmented bodies.

Examples:
Lobster Crab

Shrimp

C. SNAIL- a single spiral shell into which the whole body can be withdrawn.

___________________________________________________________________
Body cavity- is any space or compartment, or potential space in the animal body.
Segmented- animal’s body or appendage formed of a longitudinal series of similar parts.

2ND QUARTER/WEEK 4/ DAY 3
WHAT I NEED TO KNOW: Classify invertebrates into insect, spider, worm, shellfish,
and snail. (S6LT-lle-f-3)
INTRODUCTION
Animals are diverse and is widely distributed on Earth. Large animal variation is the
reason why people grouped them according to their distinct characteristics, habitat and
the food that they eat. Animals can also be grouped according to the presence of vertebral
column or backbone. When animals have backbones (with bony skeleton) they are called
Vertebrates. Some examples of vertebrates are birds, reptiles, fish and mammals. On
the other hand, Invertebrates are animals without backbone (without bony skeleton),
Some examples are insects, spiders, worms, shellfishes, and snails. Insects and spiders
belong to the largest family of invertebrate called Arthropods. They have jointed
appendages, a segmented body (bodies divided into series of repeat sections) and
an exoskeleton (hard outer layer that covers, supports, and protects the body). Some
worms are example of Annelids, they have soft, moist body wall used for survival and
breathing mechanism. Their bodies are composed of rings or segment. Moreover,
shellfish and snail belongs to a classification called Mollusk. They have a soft bodies and
some are enclosed in a hard shell or exoskeleton.
COME ON, LET’S LEARN

Classifying animals is quite interesting. Group the invertebrates that can found on a

DID YOU KNOW THAT…

Ecological imbalance is when a natural or human-caused
disturbance disrupts the natural balance of an ecosystem.
One of the causes of ecological imbalance is the
interference in the habitat of organisms affecting
interactions in the food web. Imagine what will happen in
the if the cricket which is an insect was removed in the
cycle? The frog who depends on the cricket will be greatly
affected because his source of food will be limited. The hawk
will also get affected because it has the frog as one of its
sources of food. Generally, the declining number of crickets in the food web will affect
each organism in the feeding relationship web.

SECOND QUARTER/ WEEK 5 / DAY 4

This module will bring you to the Animal Kingdom where you will be familiarized
with the vertebrates and invertebrates that are commonly seen in your areas.

Objective: Make an inventory of vertebrates and invertebrates that are commonly

seen in the community.

LESSON FOR TODAY: BRING TO LIGHT

As we have already tackled from our previous lessons how to distinguish the characteristics of both
vertebrates and invertebrates, we will now make a list of all the vertebrates and invertebrates we see in
our areas.

Vertebrates are animals of a large group distinguished by the possession of a backbone or spinal column
like mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fishes. Invertebrates, on the other hand, are animals that do
not have backbones or spinal column. Insects, spiders, snails and other different kinds of worms are the
few examples of invertebrates.
In order to have a deeper understanding about the lesson, please do the given activity.

LET’S DO IT

ACTIVITY 1
Hands on sorting of different animals

Problem: How are you going to distinguish vertebrates from invertebrates by placing it on
a two different cartolinas?

GENERALIZATION Just Remember:

We could categorized Vertebrates into 5 main groups:

A. Mammals-humans are included in this group. They are warm blooded with possession of fur and hair, with
mammary glands used to feed their baby.
B. Birds- warm blooded with wings and are covered with feeders
C. Fish- cold blooded aquatic, with fins and tails for swimming and their bodies are covered in scales.
D. Amphibians- cold blooded that can live on land and water. They breathe through their skin and lungs like
frogs and salamanders.
E. Reptiles- cold blooded and can live both on land and water but they are more adapted to living on land
than amphibians. They have hard scales or shells covering their bodies like turtles.

All of these animals do all possess backbones or vertebral column where it surrounds and protects the nerve
cord. Vertebrates also have a well –developed brain, a pair of eyes, a circulatory system with a heart, a
pharynx, and a mouth with muscles.

Invertebrates are divided into 6 main groups:

A. Sponges or poriferans who are pore-bearing filter-feeding animals,
B. Cnidarians (sea jellies, corals) with nematocytes used for capturing prey,
C. Echinoderms (sea urchins, and sea stars) with radially symmetrical and spiny marine
animals,
D. Annelids or worms,
E. Mollusks such as octopuses, snails, and clams
F. Arthropods (insects, spiders, and lobsters) with a hard exoskeleton, jointed legs,
segmented bodies.
Aside from not having backbones, they are also multicellular, no cell walls, like all other
animals.

SECOND QUARTER/ WEEK 5 / DAY 5

This module will focus

on the animals who are
seriously at risk of extinction in
all parts of the world and what
are the possible means and
ways of protecting and saving
these animals. It is not only for
the awareness of the
endangered species who are
facing extinction but also to
promote environmental
conservation.

Objective: To create an album of endangered species (local and

international) and to practice ways of caring and protecting these animals
(through internet).

LESSON FOR TODAY: BRING TO LIGHT

Like any other species on earth, animals need love and care from us humans. If
we will not give them the proper care they need, they will be under threat or near
extinction. In other words, they would likely to become an endangered species. When a
specie or animal is endangered it means that they are disappearing fast or have a very
small population- not large enough to survive.

According to scientists, the best way to protect the endangered species is to protect the
special places where they live, their habitat. We should also educate our family about
endangered species in our area.

In order to have a deeper understanding about the lesson, please do the given activity.

of wild animals) and invasive species (an organism that causes ecologiocal or economic harm in
