Natural Science 11th May 2020

Good morning, mammals: 

I hope you had a very nice weekend. Welcome to a new week, a shorter week. Today we have to do a bit of Natural Science. 

You know we are studying animals. Before we start to deal with invertebrates, I think it would be a good idea to go over some of the things we have learnt about mammals, fish, birds, reptiles and amphibians. 

1. I have prepared a quiz to see how much you have learnt. Give it a go on the link below.

VERTEBRATES QUIZ

How did it go? 

2. Next you can try to do these AB exercises.

3. I have prepared this activity to go over some characteristics of mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians. You just have to read very carefully and then tick (sometimes you have to choose more than one animal group).

	MAMMALS	BIRDS	FISH	AMPHIBIANS	REPTILES
They have feathers
They lay eggs
They have a skeleton
Most of them are oviparous, but some of them are viviparous or ovoviviparous.
They use their gills to breathe when they are babies…but not when they are adults
They have an organ called swim bladder
They have air sacs in their respiratory system
Some of them slither
Their body is covered by scales
They have moist skin

4. I think amphibians group is a bit hard to understand. Try to do the next interactive worksheet (ya sabéis que este tipo de fichas a veces da fallos o no acepta como correctas algunas respuestas... Si os da problemas, me mandáis una foto de lo que hayáis escrito).

That'll be all. 

See you tomorrow.
