Lesson on ICT
Jo Ann Leabres - Sabugo
Overview
• Teaching vertebrates in the elementary grades means answering the most basic question, "What is a vertebrate?" Begin by explaining to your students that almost all animals fall under one of two categories: Vertebrates and Invertebrates.
Before discussing the characteristics for each group of vertebrates, students should have a good understanding of what a vertebrate is, and which animal categories are classified as vertebrates. Simple discussion should be adequate for assessing whether or not students posses the appropriate background knowledge. The teacher should look specifically for answers indicating that Vertebrates are animals possessing a backbone,
and that there are 5 groups of animals which are considered vertebrates (fish, mammal, bird, amphibian and reptile maintain their body temperature). If the teacher believes the students do not possess adequate understanding of what constitutes a Vertebrate, the class should revisit the previous lessons in this series, which cover each of these topics.
Students should also understand that when items are sorted into categories, the placement is based on certain characteristics. All members of the same group share similar characteristics. Vertebrates are sorted into categories depending on their skin covering, the type and features of their limbs, how they reproduce and how they maintain their body temperature.

I. Objectives:
• To introduce what vertebrates is.• To identify the characteristics of
each of vertebrates and classify them.
• To learn the 5 groups in which vertebrates are divided and their main characteristics.
Learning Outcomes
• Define what a vertebrate is.• Recognize and classify the
classification of vertebrates.• Learn that vertebrates are divided
into 5 classification.

Title: (Interview with the Vertebrates)
First Instruction: Group Activity
• After watching the “Interview with vertebrates” video the teacher will give brief introduction on vertebrates.
• Then the teacher will divide the class in 5 groups with 5 to 7 members.
• The pupils are instructed to gather information about the different classification of vertebrates and its main characteristics.
Guide QuestionsWhat are vertebrates?What are the five classification of vertebrates?Where do vertebrates live?What do vertebrates eat?Why are vertebrates important to the
environment?What are the 5 main vertebrates groups?What are other types of vertebrates?(The teacher will gather collect the
information the student gathered)

Second Instruction
Collage Making
Second Instruction:Collage Making
• Each group will asked to create a collage with a short information about the animal and its unique characteristic.
• One collage output for each classification of vertebrates.
• The idea it hang the collage in the wall they can review the information on it.

• Lastly, the teacher will tell the pupils to make a poem, short skit, or a song that will show appreciation and respect to animals.
• Each members of each group will cooperate.
• Use the animals according to the classification the members are included.
