Kingdom+Animalia

media type="custom" key="2754987" Interesting, familiar, strange, awesome, cool- these are just some of the adjectives that we use to describe the animals that are part of our world. We are going to explore the different kinds of animals that are found on this wonderful planet of ours!

Invertebrates
Almost 95% of all the animals on our planet do not have backbones. We will explore the major characteristics of the animals that belong to the 8 phyla of invertebrates.

Since we have covered the entire animal kingdom, we decided to do a project similar to Discovery Channel videos. Students had the opportunity to show off their multimedia talents. Students were able to choose the members of their groups, and decided which members would be actors, directors, or editors. Each group was required to make a movie utilizing Windows Movie Maker (or some other program) on three animals. Check out the videos on our Animal TV Show page.





Here are a few students giving their opinion on the animal tv show assignment they did.
