Intro Quiz: Which animal families are vertebrates?

Video: Which animal families are vertebrates?

﻿Hi, everyone. Welcome to today's science lesson. I'm Ms. Harris and today we are going to be learning about which animal families are vertebrates. Now, before we get started, I would like you to look at my background. I've go a habitat called wildflowers. This is a place where some animals live. At the end of the lesson, I would like you to tell me one living thing, which lives amongst wildflowers. Is that okay? You might already have an animal in your head, but you can keep it there till the end of the lesson. Now we are going to be learning about what vertebrates are. We're going to recap. We are going to look at what amphibians are, what fish are, what reptiles are and lastly, our end of lesson quiz. For today's lesson, you will need an exercise book or a piece of paper, a pencil, a coloured pen or pencil and most important you will need your brain. If you need to get any of these things, you can pause the video now and go and get them. Well done, so let's do our Star Words. These are the important words we need to practise. Are you ready? So my turn then your turn. Living, fish, vertebrates, invertebrates, gills, reptile, amphibian. Well done. Now at my favourite part of every lesson, I'm going to describe an animal and I would like you to find it, are you ready? Let's get that brain nice and warmed up. Can you find this animal? This animal has got a white body and a green head. It has a long beak. It has orange webbed feet to help it swim. And it can fly. You might find this animal on top of a pond, swimming around or lake. And the sound it makes, is a quacking noise. Which animal is Ms. Harris describing? Can you point to her on the screen? Ready? Three, two, one. It's a duck. Well done, did you get one right? Great, now let's learn about vertebrates. So let's recap. Can you use your finger to follow the definition? So vertebrates are animals which have a backbone inside their body. So if you put your hand on the back of your neck, like we did last time, lean forward, put your chin on your chest and feel down the back. You will feel some little bumps. Can you feel them? That's your spine. That's your backbone. And all vertebrates have a backbone. And these animals include fish, amphibians, birds, and mammals. So let's just check. Vertebrates are animals which have a backbone inside of their body. The major animal families are fish, amphibians, birds, mammals and reptiles. Today we are learning about vertebrates and we are looking at these three categories here. These three animal families; fish, amphibians and reptiles. Here's our pause point. What do vertebrates have? They have a what? Pause the video and press play when you've found the answer. Vertebrates have a backbone. Well done. So let's learn about amphibians. Amphibians, are able to survive in water and in air. So here, I've got a little picture of a frog. Frogs can breathe under the water and they can breathe air as well. So they can do both. Oh, sorry, I've gone too far. They are able to breathe through their skin. How clever is that? Goodness me! So there's a picture of a frog. Amphibians lay eggs without shells. So that means that unlike maybe a chicken's egg, they've got the hard shell around the outside to protect them. Whereas amphibians, they lay what looks like this. This is frog spawn, where inside kind of a big mesh of jelly. The little amphibian will grow inside that jelly. So it looks like this. This is frog spawn, here. So let's write and draw some pictures to remember some facts about amphibians. So they can survive in water and in air. They breathe through their skin and they lay eggs without a shell. Can you pause the video and write, sorry, draw and write some facts about amphibians. Well done. So let's look at some pictures of some amphibians. So we have got a frog, a toad, which is a bit like a frog. They're really big. And they make really, really deep ribbit sound. And then, we've got a newt. Can draw two amphibians? Great job. Now listen about fish. Can you use your finger to follow the words? So fish are types of animals, which live under water. They live under the water and you can see here, lots of tiny little clownfish. Can you follow with your finger again? Fish have special organs called gills, which help them to breathe under the water. So here are two pictures, we've got a shark and a goldfish. Can you see where the arrow is pointing? There are some little ridges down the side of these animals. Those are their gills. Now they help, they're special organs that help these animals breathe under the water. What are they called? Gills, well done. Here's our pause point. Where do fish live? Where do fish live? They live under the water, well done. Now I would like you to write two facts about fish by filling in the gaps. So sentence number one says, fish live under the hmm. And this one down here, fish have hmm, to help them under the water. What do they do? Pause the video, write those sentences down, filling in the gaps. Great work. Let's check our answers now. So pick up your colours pen or pencil, and I would like you to tick or fix. If you've got the right answer tick it. If you've got the wrong answer, you're going to put a neat line through it and write it above. Fish live under the water. Fish have gills to help them breathe under the water. Well done. So here, we have got a sturgeon fish or you might call them a blue tang. This fish has got gills. You can see down the side of it's almost like its face. It's got fins to help them swim that almost like the fishes arms. And it's got a big tail to help push it. So it swims like this. Help it push the fish through the water. I would like you now, to draw a picture of this fish and label its body parts using these words at the bottom. Pause the video and do that now. Great work. Let's check, so we've got gills, fins and a tail. Did you get those right? Well done. Now let's learn about reptiles. So reptiles are animals, which have cold blood. Dry scaly-skin and breathe with lungs like humans. So let's take a closer look. A reptile is a cold blooded animal, which has dry scaly-skin. Oh, sorry, you can't see that. Though they've got dry scaly-skin. Here, I've got snake skin and a crocodile closeup. So it's dry and scaly their skin. And they're cold blooded. Reptiles breathe with lungs just like humans. Just like we do. Now, here is a picture of a reptile. This is a lizard. In a moment, I'm going to ask you to draw a picture of a reptile and write some key words to describe its skin. Here's what mine looks like. Dry, scaly and I've also added an extra fact that they breathe with lungs. I want you to choose a picture here of a reptile, and I would like you to draw and label its skin. Is that all right? So choose one, draw and label it's skin. Pause the video now and complete that question. Well done. You're working so hard, great job. So far we have learned about three animal families, which are invertebrates. So we've learned about crustaceans, arachnids and insects. Then today we have learned about fish, amphibians and reptiles. Can you guess what we're going to learn about next lesson. Mammals and birds, well done. We're going to learn about mammals and birds in our next lesson. It's time now to complete your end of lesson quiz, where you can show off everything that you have learned today. You've worked so hard and you always work really hard and I'm really proud of you. Give yourself a pat on the back. Well done. Now, can you tell me one animal which lives amongst the wildflowers? So you might have said, oh yes, that's a good one. So I think an animal that lives in wildflowers are insects, like lady bird or beetles or ants live in the wildflowers, as well. Did you have something different? Fantastic. Now, thank you so much for working so hard and I will see you next time, bye.

Completed: Which animal families are vertebrates?

In this lesson, we are going to be learning about 3 different families of animals which are vertebrates. These animal families have backbones like humans but they are all very different and special in their own way. We will be learning specifically about reptiles, amphibians and fish. You will need a pencil, a piece of paper and most importantly your brain!
