Practice Classifying Animals
Use what you know about classifying animals according to their body plans to classify the following
animals.
Below each picture, first specify if the animal is asymmetrical or symmetrical. If it is symmetrical, specify
which type of symmetry. Then write down the phylum you would classify each animal in. Feel free to
draw a line of symmetry or a central axis on the pictures to help you to determine the symmetry.
