2. Presentation of the Lesson
Today we will describe the
animals according to their characteristics of
the vertebrates and invertebrates.

B. EXPLORATION

cards/materials to each group
and perform the assigned
activity.
 Group 1- Fill the table below
with the following list of animals.
Group 2- Describe the
characteristics of the following
animals.
Group 3- Put the letter V if the
animal is a vertebrate and I if it is
an invertebrate.
(The student will do their group activity.)

C. EXPLANATION

1. Reporting of the group’s outputs.

2. Analyzing and discussing pupils’
answers.
3. The teacher asks questions to
develop critical thinking.

 Based on the group

activity that you do. How
can you determine or
distinguish the
classification of animals?
(We can determine or distinguish the classification of
animals by the presence and absence of the backbone.)

 What do we call a group

of animals that has a
backbone?
(The animals that have backbone we call vertebrates.)

 How about the animals

that have no backbone?
(The animals that have no backbone we call
invertebrates.)

 Who can give examples of

vertebrates and
invertebrates animals?

(There is various answer from the students.)

D. ELABORATION

1. Teaching Part

The teacher will discuss more:

 Animals can be classified
according to the presence and
absence of a backbone.
 Animals without a backbone
are called invertebrates.
 Worms, jellyfish, clams, flies,
and spiders are some
examples of invertebrates.
  Animals that have a backbone
called vertebrates.
 All vertebrates have left and
right sides of the body which
are alike.
 Vertebrates have two pairs of
limbs.
 Amphibians, reptiles, birds,
and mammals are some
examples of vertebrates.

2. Generalization

 How are vertebrates and

invertebrates different from
one another?
(The vertebrates and invertebrates are different from one
another using the presence and absence of the
backbone.)

3. Valuing

 In our community we can see

different kinds of animals; we
have pets, farms, and even
wild animals. How will you
take good care of and protect
the animals?
(There is various answer from students.)

4. Application
 Let’s have another activity
kindly list down the animals
that are found in the
community according to the
absence and presence of
backbone.
