Classy Invertebrates Can you meet the challenge? T. Trimpe 2009 http://sciencespot.net/

What clues can we use to remember the different classification groups for invertebrates?

Activity Directions: 1 – Work with your partner to place each “critter card” in its correct location around the edges of the classification mat. 2 – Write the names of the organisms in the correct location on your “What am I?” worksheet. 3 – When you are done, have your teacher check your answers. NOTE: There are three extra organisms listed on the worksheet that are not on the critter cards! Can you figure out where they go?

CHALLENGE RULES 1 – Shuffle the cards and place in ONE pile on the table. 2 – Start the timer and then pick up the cards and start sorting. NOTE: If you are working with a partner, you cannot split the cards into two piles until after you start the timer! 3 – Stop the timer when you are done. Have a teacher check your answers. 4 – If all your answers are correct AND you completed the task in 30 seconds or less, write your name on the board !
