This document identifies the characteristics of the five groups of vertebrates: mammals, birds, fish, amphibians, and reptiles. It provides details on the defining features of each group, such as mammals having fur and giving birth to live young, birds having feathers and laying hard-shelled eggs, fish having fins and scales and breathing through gills, amphibians being able to live on land and water and having an aquatic larval stage, and reptiles laying hard-shelled eggs on land and having scaly skin. The document also describes an activity for students to work in groups to identify and classify examples of animals from each vertebrate group based on their characteristics.

I. Objective: Identifies characteristics of each group of animals Values:
Care for animals
II. Subject Matter:
Characteristics of Each Group of Vertebrates A. Science Concept/Idea: Each group of vertebrates has their own characteristics. Mammals are the only animals with fur or hair; they are also the only animals with mammary glands that give milk to their young. They breathe with their lungs. Birds are the only animals with feathers. They have lungs for breathing. All birds come out of an egg with a hard shell. Fish have fins, scales which are thinking bony sheets arranged all over its body. All fish with the exemptions of the lung fish have gills. Amphibians are so called because they can live both on land and water. They live in water when they are still babies and on land when they grow up. Reptiles are scaly animals that are hatched from eggs with hard shells and the eggs are always laid on land. B. Science Processes: Identifying, classifying, observing and inferring C. Materials: Pictures of animals in each group of vertebrates References: Module in Science and Health V, pp. 74-76 Into the Future: Science and Health V, pp. 63-66 BEC III. Procedure: A. Preparatory Activities: a. Review What are the five groups of vertebrates? Give examples of each group. b. Checking of Assignment c. Motivation: Let's have a guessing game. I'm going to show you a picture of animal and give one characteristic of this animal. You have to work in group so you can help each other. 1. kangaroo 2. dolphin 3. tilapia, etc. B. Presentation: The pupils will be grouped into 5 and they will work on the activity problem: What are the characteristics of each group of vertebrates?
C. Concept Formation: Each group will present and report what they have made. What are the characteristics of mammals? Fishes? Amphibians? Reptiles? and Birds? Why are crocodiles called amphibians? Dolphins-mammals? Seahorse a fish? Animal Vertebrate Invertebrate centipede, alligator, snake, chicken, frog, grasshopper, fish, shrimp etc. D. Generalization: What are the characteristics of each group of vertebrates? IV. Evaluation: Identify the following whether they are mammals, reptiles, birds, fishes, amphibians 1. They live in water; have scales and gills for breathing. 2. They live both on land and water, scaly animals that are hatched from eggs with hard shells. 3. They have mammary glands and the only group of animals with fur or hair. V. Assignment: Give 2 examples of each group of vertebrates and tell the characteristics of these animals.
