Compare and contrast vertebrates and invertebrate chordates
Vocabulary:
notochord, pharyngeal pouch, gill,
Complete lab book page 72
Complete foldable venn diagram.

3. Warm-up: COMPARE THE TWO ANIMALS?
Look at the pictures :
Similarities
Differences

4. What is a chordate:
Chordates are animals that are grouped in the phylum Chordata.
There are two types of Chordates –
Vertebrate chordates and invertebrate chordates

5. PHYLUM CHORDATA-INVERTEBRATES LANCELETS AND TUNICATES

6. Characteristics of chordates:
All chordates have four traits in common :
Notochord
A tail
A nerve cord
Pharyneal pouches

7. PHYLUM CHORDATA- VERTEBRATES Fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals

8. Members of Phylum Chordata THAT have a backbone (are vertebrates).

9. Members of Phylum Chordata THAT DO NOT HAVE backbone (are Invertebrates).

10. Group work :reading activity
Silent reading– SB page 266. Paragraph 2 – 3 traits of chordates.
Complete identify and describe questions in LB-page 72.
Draw and label a diagram of chordate and the 4 traits (see figure 13 page 267) in your note book .

13. Lesson 7.3 EQ: How do the groups of vertebrate chordates differ?
Learning Objectives:
Success Criteria:
Name 5 groups of vertebrate chordates.
Distinguish between the identifying characteristics of vertebrate chordates
Vocabulary:
amnion, ectotherm, endotherm , mammary gland.
Name 5 groups of vertebrate chordates.
Distinguish between the identifying characteristics of vertebrate

14. WARM UP Review homework questions from previous lesson .
Page 274 questions 4/5/7

15. Vertebrate : Groups of fish PG 268 SB
Jawless
Sharks and rays
Bony fish
Jawless fish such as lampreys. They are parasites on other fish.
Fish whose skeletons are made of cartilage, such as sharks, rays, and skates.
Includes fish whose skeletons are made of bone

16. Vertebrate : Groups of AMPHIBIANS PG 269 SB
Frogs and toads
Salamanders and Newts
Caecilians
Frogs and toads do not have tails . They have long legs that enable them to jump.
They have tails and move by bending their bodies side-to- side.
Do not have legs. They look similar to a earthworms and move by twisting their bodies back and forth.

17. More about amphibians
Amphibians are a group of tetrapod's that live on land.
The word amphibians means ‘both ways of life’.
Most amphibians lay their eggs in water ( aquatic fertilization).
Young amphibians such as tadpoles live in water.
Adult amphibian lungs are strong and can breath on land.
However amphibians must live in moist habitats to keep there bodies from drying out.

18. Vertebrate : Groups of reptiles PG 270 SB
Three common groups of reptiles
Turtles
Alligators and crocodiles
Lizards and snakes
Most reptiles live on land and all have lungs for breathing.
Scales on their skin to prevent them from drying out.
Reptiles lay eggs.
Inside the egg is a amnion, a protective membrane that surrounds the embryo.
Ectotherms – animals that heat their bodies from heat in their environments.

19. Vertebrate : birds PG 271 SB.
Birds have wings and feathers for flight.
Birds have bones that are nearly hallow and filled with air.
Birds are endotherms , animals that generate their body heat from the inside.
Birds lay eggs. Inside the egg is a amnion, a protective membrane that surrounds the embryo.

20. Vertebrate : Groups of mammals PG 272 SB
Mammals are animals with hair or fur. Females have mammary glands to nurse their young with milk.
Monotherms
Marsupils
Placental mammals
Mammals that lay eggs. Examples : platypus and echidna
Mammals that raise their young's in pouches .
Examples : kangaroos
Mammals that have a structure called a placenta that the young are attached to as they grow inside the mother.

21. STATIONS – VERTEBRATE CHORDATES
Stations activity – 5 types of vertebrate chordates.
Rotate to each station using their lab books (page 73) to record key information.
Complete identify and describe questions in LB on page 72.
Print slides 15 to 20 and use as stations.
