An Extremely Brief Description Below.

Areas of Focus within this PowerPoint: This PowerPoint begins describing characteristics of Animals: No cell walls, Period of Embryonic Development, Eat Food, Move, Nervous and Muscle Tissues, Diplontic Life Cycle, The PowerPoint then covers budding, fragmentation and parthenogenesis, The PowerPoint then describes with visuals the three types of animal symmetry. After seeing and learning these, students put their skills to the test in a 1-10 name that type of symmetry challenge that gets the students out of their seat and making shapes with each slide. Students then use a Petri-dish or compass to create a series of circles to record information about Animal Phyla that are presented one at a time. This creates a neat organized page with sketches of all of the Phyla for easy recall later, Teacher can create stations with various specimens (handouts can work) and have students carousel through the various Phyla. Common Phyla in the Animal Kingdom are then covered in detail. Arthropoda goes into detail and discusses some of the most common classes with notes that focus on certain aspects of arthropods and many challenge questions are asked. Chordata, Amphibia, and various Fish Phyla with built-in review questions. A 1-20 built-in quiz is provided. Each picture 1-20 shows and animal and students need to give the phylum and the class (arthropoda and chordata only). The answer are provided at the end.
