Comparative anatomy prevails in the lesson exploring diversity among invertebrates. Biologists examine physical characteristics of an earthworm from phylum annelida and a meal worm from phylum insecta. They also inspect a cricket and a...

In this animal worksheet, students determine which characteristic of an animal matches the given statement. Students describe illustrations of animals using the terms radial symmetry, bilateral symmetry, and no symmetry.

Students analyze the similarities in different species. This lesson is part of a multi-segmented unit on the diversity of life. In this segment, students classify shoes to mimic the scientific categories of the classification system.

From large to small, show your class how to organize them all! Included within the guide is everything you need to take their knowledge of classification from the cellular to the species level. The worksheets focus on...

Students study patterns. For this symmetry in nature lesson, students examine objects to determine what type of symmetry they have. They work in small groups to rotate through stations that have objects for them to study.

Students observe butterfly images and then draw and paint their own design. They use this activity to explain symmetry.

In this animal symmetry learning exercise, students label organisms by the type of body symmetry that organism has. Then students draw an example of each type of symmetry. This learning exercise has 3 drawings and 21 fill in the blank...

In this biology learning exercise, students label parts of a phylogenetic tree and differentiate between bilateral symmetry and radial symmetry.

Students observe different animals with bilateral symmetry. In this biology lesson plan, students compare how these animals move. They discuss the evolutionary history of observed animals.

Students explore the invertebrate phyla. They discuss the characteristics of the invertebrate Phyla in the Kingdom Animal. Students classify organisms into Phyla based on their characteristics. They distinguish radial symmetry, bilateral...

In this flatworms worksheet, students will review the characteristics of planarians, tapeworms, and flukes. This worksheet has 5 true or false, 2 short answer, and 7 matching questions.

In this mollusks worksheet, students will review the characteristics of the three major classes of mollusks: gastropods, bivalves, and cephalopods. This worksheet has 17 matching, 6 short answer, 9 fill in the blank, and 4 true or false...

Students examine invertebrates. For this animal classification lesson, students discuss invertebrates and bilateral symmetry. They discuss the importance of horse shoe crabs in medical science.

In this body plans and adaptations worksheet, students will review the different types of symmetry found in organisms. Students will identify body parts as found on either the ventral or dorsal part of an animal. Then students will look...

Students, with dive partners, explore coral reefs through scuba diving. They also explore radial symmetry and bilateral symmetry.

Students are introduced to the unit on the importance of diversity of life and the role that interdependence plays in our worlds. this is part of a multi-lesson unit on the diversity of life.

Out of all animals, elephants alone lack the ability to jump. Scholars learn all about animals using a presentation full of fun examples. It describes different types of animals, the biological similarities and differences between...

Students are introduced to the variety of organisms in our world. this lesson is a part of a multi-segmented unit on specie diversity. this segment explores distribution of life on land and sea.

Students are introduced to the basic characteristics of the animal kingdom. this lesson is part of a multi-segmented unit on the diversity of life. In this segment, students explore the the members of a few phyla of the animal kingdom.

Learners study physical characteristics of separate phyla and place them into similar groups. This lesson is part of a multi-segmented unit on the diversity of life. students develop a classification system by grouping animals into...

Students create an animal by using physical characteristics to classify that animal in the Linnaean Classification System. This lesson is part of a multi-segmented unit on the diversity of life.

Students change one animal group into another animal group by changing only a few body characteristics. This lesson is part of a multi-segmented unit on the diversity of life. In this session, students the basis of classification.

Students investigate the importance of dependency and diversity in a rain forest ecosystem. This lesson is part of a multi-segmented unit on the diversity of life.

In this animal worksheet, students review characteristics of animals including body symmetry, development, and skeletal structure. This worksheet has 3 short answer questions.
