Revision Worksheet - 3
Topic: L-1.1 Animal Skeletons
Grade 4 ...... Name:.............................................................. Date: ...../....../2018
Animals can be classified into two groups:
1- Invertebrates = animals without backbone. They usually have hard external skeleton to protect
their body and give it shape. Some invertebrates have no skeleton at all.
2- Vertebrates = animals with backbone. They usually have bony internal skeleton.
(No need to study the groups of invertebrates. This is only to enrich student’s knowledge.
Students must only learn about crustaceans, arachnids and insects.)
1- Invertebrates are animals without backbone. Here are some groups of invertebrates:
A- Cnidarians- jelly-like animals with tentacles and stinging cells. Identify these cnidarians.
Write: jellyfish – sea anemones – corals
_____________________ _______________________ _______________________
B- Annelids- body is divided into many segments (rings) joined together, called segmented worms,
and they have moist (wet) skin and no legs. Identify these annelids. Write: earthworm – leech
_________________________ _______________________
C- Arthropods- include crustaceans, arachnids, insects, etc.
*Crustaceans- have hard shell, gills, more than 8 jointed legs. Identify these crustaceans.
Write: crab – shrimp – lobster – woodlouse
________________ __________________ _________________ ___________________
*Arachnids- body is divided into 2 parts, and they have 8 legs. Identify these arachnids.
Write: ticks – scorpion – mites – spider
_______________ ____________________ _________________ _____________________
(Did you know that a spider is not an insect??? Count its legs!!! Does it have 6 or 8 legs???)
*Insects- body is divided into 3 parts, have 6 legs, and breathing tubes.
Identify these insects. Write: beetle – ladybug – bee – ant – butterfly – housefly
___________ ___________ _________ __________ ______________ _________________
D- Mollusks- have a soft body and use their muscular foot/feet to move. Identify these mollusks.
Write: octopus – snail – squid – slug – clam
___________________ _______________ ________________ __________________ ___________________
E- Echinoderms- Identify these echinoderms. Write: starfish – sea cucumber – brittle star – sea urchin
__________________ _______________________ ____________________ _________________
(Students must learn the groups of vertebrates. No need to learn spellings. Keywords will be given.)
2- Vertebrates are animals with backbone or bony internal skeleton. They can be grouped into the
following:
A- Fish – live in water, lay eggs, have gills for breathing and have fins to help them swim.
Identify these fish. Write pomfret, shark, goldfish, salmon
______________ _______________ _______________ ________________
B- Amphibians – live both on land and in water and lay eggs. They have moist (wet) skin. Toads
have bumpy skin as compared to frogs. Identify these amphibians. Write frog – salamanders - toad
__________________ _______________________ ________________
C- Reptiles- have dry skin which may be covered with scales, have lungs for breathing and lay eggs.
Identify these reptiles. Write: chameleon – lizard – snake – crocodile – turtle
________________ ______________ ____________ _____________ ______________
D- Birds- lay eggs, have wings, are covered with feathers and have lungs for breathing.
Identify these birds. Write: crow – chicken – parrot – penguin – eagle
___________ ______________ _____________ ______________ _____________
E- Mammals- have lungs for breathing, most are covered with fur or hair, and give birth to young
ones. Identify these mammals. Write: bat – rat – sheep – whale – monkey

amphibians – insects – vertebrates – mammals – fish – birds
crustaceans – invertebrates – reptiles – arachnids
