Standard 6-3.1: Vertebrates• Animals with backbones• Vertebrates share other physical characteristics; for
example– a protective skin covering– an inside skeleton– muscles– blood that circulates through blood vessels– lungs (or gills) for breathing.
• Vertebrates have legs or fins for movement• Vertebrates have a nervous system with brains that process
information from their environments through sensory organs, such as ears or tongues
• Vertebrates also contain many highly developed systems associated with their specialized organs.
• There are thousands of species of vertebrates divided into five groups: fish, amphibians, reptiles, mammals, and birds.

Standard 6-3.1: Vertebrates - Fish
• Fish have backbones
• Fish are cold-blooded (ectothermic)
• Fish obtain dissolved oxygen in water through gills
• Most fish lay eggs
• Fish have scales
• Fish have fins
• Fish live in the water FISHhttp://www.kidport.com/RefLib/Science

Standard 6-3.1: Vertebrates - Amphibians
• Amphibians have backbones• Amphibians are cold-blooded (ectothermic)• Amphibians can breathe in water with gills early
in life, and breathe on land with lungs as adults• Amphibians go through metamorphosis and lay
jelly-like eggs• The major groups of amphibians are frogs, toads,
and salamanders• Frogs and salamanders have smooth, moist skin,
through which they can breathe; and live part of their life in water and part on land.
• Toads have thicker, bumpy skin and live on land.

• Reptiles have backbones• Reptiles are cold-blooded (ectothermic)• Reptiles breathe with lungs• Most Reptiles lay eggs; although in
some the eggs hatch inside the female• Reptiles have scales or plates

• Mammals have backbones
• Mammals are warm-blooded (endothermic)
• Mammals breathe with lungs
• Mammals have babies that are born live
• Mammals have fur or hair
• Mammals produce milk to feed their young

• Birds Lay eggs
• Birds have feathers
• Birds have a beak, two wings, and two feet

What are three functions of a backbone?
• The backbone supports the body, gives the body flexibility, and protects the spinal cord.

Explain how ectotherms and endotherms differ in the way they
control their body temperature.
• The body temperature of ectotherms changes depending on the temperature of environment. Endotherms have bodies that control internal body heat and therefore maintain nearly constant body temperature.

reptiles?
• Birds and mammals
