D. Discussing new concepts and Invertebrates are animals that do not have backbone. There are eight large groups of invertebrates.
practicing new skills #1( 1. Porifera
Modeling) The Poriferans are marine animals full of pores or holes. These holes serve as passage for water which
carries nutrients and gases.
Sponges or pore-bearing animals belong to this group.
2. Coelenterata (Coelenterates) The Coelenterate or Coelenterates are hollow-bodied or soft-
bodied animals. Their bodies are made up of two layers of cells which form a hollow tube. Examples
of animals in this group are the fresh water hydras, hydroids, jellyfish, sea fans, sea anemones, and
corals.

3. Platyhelminthes
Platyhelminthes have bodies that look like ribbons. They have no space inside so they have no
digestive system. Flatworms belong to this group.
The tapeworm and flukes are examples of flatworms. The tapeworm lives in the human intestine and
feeds completely on the digested food of its host. Flukes stay in the liver. They are parasites.
4. Nematoda (Nematodes)
 Nematoda or Nematodes consist of animals called roundworms. They are long, thin, round, and
pointed at one or both ends. Some of them are also parasites. The ascaris lives in the intestines of the
human beings. The hookworm, another parasite, enters the human body by boring through the skin
in the feet.
5. Annelida
Animals belong to this group are segmented worms. They are the most complex among the worms.
Their bodies are divided into segments. Examples of the animals in this group are the earthworms
and leeches.
6. Mollusca (Mollusks)
Mollusca or Mollusks are softbodied or shelled animals. Snails, slugs, clams, mussels, oysters, squids
and octopuses are mollusks. Most animals like the clams, oysters and snails have shells that protect
their soft bodies.

7. Echinodermata (Echinoderms) Echinodermata or Echinoderms are spiny-skinned sea animals.
They have hard shells covered with prickly spines or needles. Starfish, sand dollars, sea urchins, and
sea cucumber are the most common examples of this group. 8. Arthropoda (Arthropods)
Arthropoda or Arthropods are joint-legged animals. They make up the largest group in the animal
kingdom. Their legs are jointed. Their bodies and legs are made up of sections. They have an outside
shell called the exoskeleton. There are four groups of animals in this group. These are: a.
Crustaceans have a hard outer body covering divided into sections. Crabs, lobsters and shrimps
belong to this group.
b. Insects are small, six-legged animals or have three pairs of walking legs, one or two pairs of wings
and a pair of antennae. Their bodies are divided into three parts: the head, the thorax, and the
abdomen. They change their form as they grow. They are the most numerous animals on earth. Bees,
ants, wasps, butterflies, cockroaches, ladybugs, fireflies, termites, moths and grasshopper are insects.
c. Arachnids have four pairs of walking legs. They have possess spinnerets with which they spin silk
thread into webs, cocoons and nests. Examples of arachnids are scorpions, mites, ticks and spiders.

Crustaceans (crab) Lobster
Butterfly Grasshopper
Spider Tick Scorpion
d. Myriapods are animals with many legs. They are the millipedes (diplopods) which have two pairs
of legs in every segment of their body and the centipedes (chilopods) which have one pair of legs in
every segment of their body.
