The document provides a lesson plan for a science class on vertebrates. The objectives are for students to identify vertebrates, classify them into groups, and understand their importance. The lesson plan outlines introducing vertebrates and their characteristics, discussing the five main groups - mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. Students then practice classifying examples and answer review questions to assess learning. The lesson concludes by defining vertebrates and the key characteristics of the five groups.

I. Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the pupils should be able to:
- identify vertebrates and classify them into groups;
- describe the characteristics of each group of vertebrates; and - appreciate the importance of learning what are vertebrates and their classifications.
II. Subject Matter
A. Topic: Vertebrates
B. Reference: Del Prado, Daryl Korinna A., and Del Prado, Natividad A., Exploring Today’s World of Science and Health 4. REX Book Store Inc., Manila, Philippines, 2000, pp.62 – 72.
C. Materials: Cartolinas (visual aids), laptop computer, images of different kinds of animals
III. Learning Activities
A. Preparatory Activities
a. Opening Prayer
b. Greetings
c. Checking of Attendance
B. Review of the Past Lesson
a. What is a habitat?
b. What are terrestrial, aquatic, and aerial animals? Give examples of animals that belong in each group.
C. Motivation
The teacher will pictures of different kinds of animals.Encourage the pupils to mention the names of the animals and the appearance of each kind of animal.
D. Lesson Proper 1. Present a name card with the term vertebrates. Encourage the pupils to mention certain attributes / characteristics of the group. Then say: A vertebrate is an animal that has a spinal column/backbone/vertebrae. Most vertebrates have vertebrae made of bones; but sharks and other fishes have vertebrae made of cartilage.
2. Unlock the terms mammals, placentals, marsupials, and monotremes. Proceed to discuss birds and their characteristics, as well as the other groups of vertebrates, namely reptiles, amphibians, and fishes. Identify the characteristics of each group and give examples of animals belonging to each group/category.
IV. Application
Name to what class or group of vertebrates each animal belongs.
1. Alligator
2. Kangaroo
3. Toad
4. Mynah / Maya
5.Whale Shark
V. Evaluation
Answer the following questions. Write the answers on your paper.
1. What H have the most developed brain among all mammals?
2. What V is an animal with a backbone and a cranium?
3. What R are cold – blooded animals that typically have dry, scaly skin?
4. What S is a long column of bones that can be found along the back of an animal?
5. What F are animals that live in water?
6. What M are warm – blooded animals that have hair or fur as their body covering, and give birth to live young?
7. What B have bodies covered with feathers that are grouped as class Aves?
8. What A are vertebrates that live on and in water?
9. What W are animals that maintain their body temperature despite changes in temperature in their surroundings?
10. What C are animals that adjust their body temperature to external sources of warmth, such as sunlight and soil?
Answer Key: 1. Humans 6. Mammals
2. Vertebrate 7. Birds
3. Reptile 8. Amphibians
4. Spine 9. Warm - blooded
5. Fish 10. Cold - blooded
VI. Generalization
Vertebrates are animals that have backbone and cranium. Vertebrates are divided into five groups:
Mammals – warm – blooded animals characetrized by he birth of live young.
Birds – warm – blooded animals that have bodies covered with feathers.
Reptiles – cold – blooded animals typically having dry, scaly skin.
Amphibians – cold – blooded animals that live both on land and in water.
Fishes – cold – blooded animals that live in water.
Warm – blooded animals maintain their body temperature despite changes in temperature in their surroundings, while cold – blooded animals adjust their body temperature to external sources of warmth, such as sunlight and soil.
VII. Assignment / Agreement
A. Follow – Up Assignment
Look up for other interesting information about vertebrates not found in the textbooks. Then compile these additional animal facts in an album.
B. Advance Assignment
1. What are invertebrates?
2. What are the different groups of invertebrates? 3. Give examples of invertebrates that belong in each group.
