Practical Unit 4; The animal kingdom. name: ________________________________________________________________________ Name: ________________________________________________________________________ Name: ________________________________________________________________________ In this unit we study the classification of animals. The animal kingdom is divided into 8 phyla (and some phyla are divided into classes): unicellular animals, sponges, cnidarians, worms, molluscs, arthropods (myriapods, crustaceans, arachnids and insects), echinoderms and vertebrates (fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals). In this practical you’ll have a look at the different phyla of the animal kingdom. The phylum (and with the vertebrates and arthropods also the class) of the different animals has to be given. Of all animals three questions about features have to be correctly answered. Make groups of three students. Each group starts at a different station. You get 2 minutes to pick a animal (fill in the name) and answer the questions. After 2 minutes the groups move clockwise to the next station without talking to the other groups. After 16 minutes the practical will be over and you have to hand in the assignment paper. Good luck!! Example: Name animal: Garden spider Phylum: arthropods Class*: arachnids Symmetry: bilaterally symmetric / radially symmetric / asymmetric Skeleton: internal skeleton / external skeleton / no skeleton animals from this phylum/class only live in water: yes/ no * Class only with the vertebrates and arthropods Name animal: ______________________________________________________________________ Phylum: ______________________________________________________________________ Class *: ______________________________________________________________________ Symmetry: bilaterally symmetric / radially symmetric / asymmetric Skeleton: internal skeleton / external skeleton / no skeleton animals from this phylum/class only live in water: yes / no Name animal: ______________________________________________________________________ Phylum: ______________________________________________________________________ Class *: ______________________________________________________________________ Symmetry: bilaterally symmetric / radially symmetric / asymmetric Skeleton: internal skeleton / external skeleton / no skeleton animals from this phylum/class only live in water: yes / no Name animal: ______________________________________________________________________ Phylum: ______________________________________________________________________ Class *: ______________________________________________________________________ Symmetry: bilaterally symmetric / radially symmetric / asymmetric Skeleton: internal skeleton / external skeleton / no skeleton animals from this phylum/class only live in water: yes / no Name animal: ______________________________________________________________________ Phylum: ______________________________________________________________________ Class *: ______________________________________________________________________ Symmetry: bilaterally symmetric / radially symmetric / asymmetric Skeleton: internal skeleton / external skeleton / no skeleton animals from this phylum/class only live in water: yes / no Name animal: ______________________________________________________________________ Phylum: ______________________________________________________________________ Class *: ______________________________________________________________________ Symmetry: bilaterally symmetric / radially symmetric / asymmetric Skeleton: internal skeleton / external skeleton / no skeleton animals from this phylum/class only live in water: yes / no Name animal: ______________________________________________________________________ Phylum: ______________________________________________________________________ Class *: ______________________________________________________________________ Symmetry: bilaterally symmetric / radially symmetric / asymmetric Skeleton: internal skeleton / external skeleton / no skeleton animals from this phylum/class only live in water: yes / no Name animal: ______________________________________________________________________ Phylum: ______________________________________________________________________ Class *: ______________________________________________________________________ Symmetry: bilaterally symmetric / radially symmetric / asymmetric Skeleton: internal skeleton / external skeleton / no skeleton animals from this phylum/class only live in water: yes / no Name animal: ______________________________________________________________________ Phylum: ______________________________________________________________________ Class *: ______________________________________________________________________ Symmetry: bilaterally symmetric / radially symmetric / asymmetric Skeleton: internal skeleton / external skeleton / no skeleton animals from this phylum/class only live in water: yes / no Name animal: ______________________________________________________________________ Phylum: ______________________________________________________________________ Class *: ______________________________________________________________________ Symmetry: bilaterally symmetric / radially symmetric / asymmetric Skeleton: internal skeleton / external skeleton / no skeleton animals from this phylum/class only live in water: yes / no Name animal: ______________________________________________________________________ Phylum: ______________________________________________________________________ Class *: ______________________________________________________________________ Symmetry: bilaterally symmetric / radially symmetric / asymmetric Skeleton: internal skeleton / external skeleton / no skeleton animals from this phylum/class only live in water: yes / no
