CREATURE FEATURE - SEGMENTED WORMS There are many different kinds of worms in the sea, but probably the most familiar are the segmented worms. Almost all marine segmented worms are known as polychaetes. The most distinguishing feature of these animals is the presence of flattened extensions to each body section, called parapodia. These are sometimes covered in bristles and also possess gills. Parapodia are often used in locomotion. Unlike the sponges and cnidarians, segmented worms are bilaterally symmetrical (the body has two identical halves) with a head at the front. The head has a brain, or at least, a collection of nerve cells and sensory organs such as eyes. Polychaetes have very diverse lifestyles. Some, such as the ragworm, are carnivores with strong jaws for catching small invertebrates, which they actively hunt on the sea floor. Others live in tunnels and feed on organic particles in the sediment - the lugworm, for example, leaves a pile of discarded sand at the entrance to its burrow. Another family of polychaetes build and live in tubes, which may be made from mucus, sand or tiny fragments of shells, and extend many tentacles out into the water to catch floating food particles.

Kingdom Animalia I. Introduction: A. All living things (Organisms) comply to the 5 properties of life: 1. Organisms use Energy 2. Organism's structures are Organized 3. Organisms Grow and develop 4. Organisms Reproduce 5. Organisms Adapt and Respond to the environment B. Organisms have been classifiend into 5 biological kingdoms: 1. Monera includes all Bacteria 2. Protista includes Protozoa, Algae, and Molds 3. Fungi includes Mushrooms 4. Plantae includes Plants 5. Animalia includes all Animals C. Each of these kingdoms has evolved its own adaptations and characteristics to achieve all 5 properties of life. Scientists believe in a chronological process of evolution in which the first living creature was a single cell prokaryote known as the "Cenancestor" (Woese 1997). A symbiotic relationship between prokaryotes (Monerans) gave rise to the first Eukaryote, a protista (Margulis 1973). There are 3 major types of protista: Protozoans, Algae, and Molds.

Invertebrates With over 2 million known animal species on Earth, 98% of them are invertebrates. Invertebrates are animals that don't have backbones. They live in a variety of environments, from hot and unbearable deserts to frigid and equally unbearable polar regions. They also come in an assortment of shapes and colors. To better understand invertebrates, scientists group them into eight major categories. Here are the categories and a fact or two about each category: Arthropods are invertebrates with hard outer shells (exoskeletons), with jointed legs, and with segmented bodies. Since about 75% of all animal species are arthropods, they represent the largest invertebrate group. Insects (such as butterflies, fleas, and beetles), myriapods (such as centipedes and millipedes), crustaceans (such as crabs, pill woodlice, and lobsters), arachnids (such as spiders, scorpions, and ticks), and horseshoe crabs are all examples of arthropods. Sponges are the simplest of all animals. Inhabiting mostly oceans but occasionally freshwater, they are headless and nerveless. As their movement is very difficult to detect, and they always attach to rocks, sponges were once thought to be aquatic plants! Sponges feed through a filter system. Thousands of pores covering the outside of a sponge pump water into the sponge's body. Collar cells lining the inside of the sponge sort out planktons or other microorganisms from the water. Once food particles are trapped and digested by collar cells, sponges expel the water through an opening at the top of the sponge.

(To find the answers continue reading) Introduction In the previous unit, we have been studying different phylum such as mollusk, arthropods, segmented worms, echinoderms, flat worms, sponges, cnidarians, and round worms. Discuss with the person sitting to your left a characteristic of each and an example that would fit into that phyla. I will do the first one for you: mollusk - soft-bodied animal - squid. Today we are going to experience a learning adventure that will introduce you to different characteristics of invertebrates. Your text defines invertebrates as an “animal that has a skeletal system inside its body.” Let’s brainstorm as many animals that fit this definition and list them on the chalkboard. The Task You will be conducting a search that will investigate invertebrates. We will be using library materials, animal CD-ROMS, electronic data bases, and the Internet.

There are also four units that are covered in the sixth grade, that are not in the frameworks, but are essential skills and tools that students need in order to complete the Science curriculum. These four units are: The Scientific Method Metrics-Linear Measurements Observation and Inference , and The Microscope: Parts and Functions These topics are taught through constant use of process skills and critical thinking skills within a hands-on, guided inquiry lab approach to covering the curriculum. The text used is the Science Explorer modular series published by Prentice Hall. At the sixth grade level there are five student version textbooks available for each student.

Typically, they are multicellular in composition and capable of both locomotion and responding to their surroundings. Unlike plants, animals do not photosynthesize, instead consuming plants or other organisms to grow and sustain themselves. Most animals have a body plan that becomes fixed as they mature and, except in animals that metamorphose , is established early in their development from embryos. The scientific study of animals is called zoology. Colloquially, "animal" often is used to refer to all animals

They usually ingest other organisms for their energy and other nutrient needs. Animals are divided into several groups [phyla]. The lower groups (sponges through echinoderms) are often classified together as the invertebrates. The Sponges. These simplest animals do not have any distinct tissues (a tissue is a group of cells with similar structure and function). They live in water, most being marine. These include a variety of sponges other than the common commercial sponge. The Cnidarians (Coelenterates). These animals have simple tissues and radial symmetry. (All the rest of the animals listed below also have tissues.) They have stinging cells that they use to kill prey and they live in water (mostly marine). They include sea anemones, coral, jellyfish, and many small organisms. Coral reefs are the skeletons secreted by such tiny organisms. The Flatworms.
