Day 1914 | Vertebrates

We’ve been talking about ways to classify animals this week. Today’s lesson was vertebrates vs. invertebrates. I found this fun lesson online which uses a pipe cleaner inside a play doh animal to act as a backbone. Then you make another version of the animal with no pipe cleaner backbone. The takeaway? The backbone makes the animal much stronger which allows vertebrates to support larger bodies. Pretty cool, huh?
