Lesson Summary
Students investigate invertebrates. They begin by reviewing their existing knowledge around invertebrates and compare invertebrates to vertebrates. They then look at a series of flashcards featuring a range of invertebrates, before focusing on the invertebrates they might find at school or at home, thinking about what these animals need for food, water and shelter. Finally, students work together to create an invertebrate house for their home or school.
