Topic: Animal’s kingdom (vertebrates)
Key Vocabulary Learn: Vertebrates, invertebrates, mammals, reptiles, birds, amphibians, fish.

The Set-up Unit Goals:

Students will be able to recap and apply their understanding on previous lessons.

Learning Objectives: At the end of the lesson, pupils will be able to:
• Investigate animals with backbones or no backbones (vertebrates,
invertebrates).
• Sort animals with backbones into broad groups according (mammals,
amphibians, reptiles, birds, and fish).
• Differentiate their observable characteristics.
• Investigate where the groups live (in land, in water, etc)
• Explain differences on ability to carry out certain processes of live
(movement, respiratory, feeding, excretion, growth, reproduction)

Materials: Teacher’s book, student’s worksheet, stationeries, laptop and

projector.

The Lesson The Hook: Teacher will show pupils few images of animals including cat, bird,
fish which can be the human pets. Teacher will ask whether those animals are
1. Set induction vertebrates or non-vertebrates. Whether it lays egg or gives birth. This will try to
(10 minutes) catch pupils’ attention in know their pet’s behaviours. A video on animal’s
kingdom will be showed to them to get ideas on different groups of animals.

Exploration:
2. Lesson • Differentiate groups of animals (Mammals, amphibians, birds, reptiles, and
Development 1 fish).
(20 minutes) • Animals are placed into groups because they have particular features. For
E.g:
 Birds have feathers, beaks, wings.
 Fish has scales on the body and live in water.
3. Practise
 Mammals give birth, look after their babies and feed them.
(15 minutes)
Lesson Development 1:
1. The teacher will be discussing on the topic with powerpoint presentation
(slideshows). There will be oral questioning to encourage the pupils to
discover/ find the answer. An open discussion is also encouraged by the
teacher in order for them to develop their communication skills.

2. During the presentation, teacher will highlight new words for the pupils to
memorize.

Refer to the slideshows.

Practise: Pupils will be asked to play educational games by using the

computers. Teacher will be also offered guidance if they have any difficulties.

Exercise 1 (interactive and stimulated activity online): The pupils have to drag
the pictures shown to where the animals grouped. For examples:

• Penguin Birds
• Squirrel Mammals

Exercise 2 (paper work): Pupils will be asked to answer student’s worksheet

prepared by the teacher. Refer to attached document.

Summary: The exercise will test the pupil’s understanding and develop their
Follow up activity:

 Visit the local environment, museum, zoo to find and identify animals and plants.
 Make drawings of the animals and note where they were found.
 Use pictures and photographs to support identification.
 Make a poster of members of, for example, the cat family. Note common
characteristics.
