Description

What is an amphibian, and how is it different from a reptile? Which animals are mammals like you?  A Wide World of Vertebrates  from Be Naturally Curious introduces you to the amazing diversity of vertebrate animal life on our planet. In the interactive story-based lesson, Devi the Dolphin learns how her backbone allows her to do backflips. Kids learn the different features of the five vertebrate groups and practice distinguishing them. What could be more fun than reinforcing this knowledge through physical activity in Vertebrate Twister and Critter Charades? Finally, the beautifully illustrated BONES Bingo game and Mobile Vertebrate art project will delight all of those hands-on learners out there!

Mini-course is provided as a 37-page PDF  including a Science Tool Kit  page to collect your badges.
