-worms, insects, spiders
Background information for teachers
Animals can be classified according to the
presence and absence of backbone.
Animals without backbone are called
invertebrates.
Worms, clams, jellyfish, flies, and spiders, are
 some example of invertebrates.
Animals that have backbones called vertebrates.
All vertebrates have left and right sides of the
body which are alike. Vertebrates have two pairs
of limbs. Amphibians, reptiles, birds, and
mammals are some examples of vertebrates.

F. Developing mastery (Leads Let have a game. COT-RPMS Indicator 1
