Stage 3: Learning Experience

Tech Resources
• Set up video • Station Materials
to Do to Bring
Time: 60 mins Content/Description Notes
Introduction
• Watch video on animal classification
10 mins • What’s the difference between vertebrate and invertebrate?
• Think pair share- what does an amphibian feel like? What does
a reptile feel like?
Stations
• Vertebrate/ invertebrate tic tac toe
- Students have 15 minutes at
• Animal Guess Who
each station
45 mins • Writing examples on posters for “body coverings” on stickies
- I will place myself at sorting
• Vertebrae/Invertebrate “Cootie Catcher”
and cootie catcher station
• Sorting worksheet- students sort list of animals into animal
groupings
Clean Up
5 mins • Clean up all the stations, place things back into bags, put stuff
