2.- Classify the following animals into VERTEBRATES or INVERTEBRATES:
3.- Relate each picture to a name and classify them into VERTEBRATES or INVERTEBRATES:
PORIFERA
FISH
AMPHIBIANS

4.- NAMES GAME: Classification Game of the INVERTEBRATES: Each student will have a piece
of paper with:
- a name of a living thing in English
- a name of a living thing in Spanish
- a picture of a living thing
- a taxonomic group that classifies living things
The students will have some seconds to join each name with its picture and the taxonomic group
that living thing belongs to. Later, the students will have to exchange their pieces of paper and start
again. The group who finishes before the rest each time will have the positive point!!!.
These are the names:
LIVING THINGS

TAENIA
ANT

INSECTS
PORIFERA
NEMATODE
