10 Types Of Vertebrates And 10 Types Of Invertebrates Free Summer ... - Free Printable

To solve this sorting task, we need to separate the animals into two groups based on whether they have a backbone (vertebrates) or not (invertebrates).

Step 1: Understand the Definitions
* Vertebrates: Animals that have a backbone or spine inside their bodies. This group includes mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish.
* Invertebrates: Animals that do *not* have a backbone. This group includes insects, worms, jellyfish, octopuses, starfish, and snails.

Step 2: Sort Each Animal

Let's look at each animal card shown in the activity and decide which group it belongs to:

1. Sea Turtle: It is a reptile with a shell and bones inside. -> Vertebrate
2. Starfish: It has no bones; its body is supported by a water vascular system. -> Invertebrate
3. Bee: It is an insect with an exoskeleton (hard shell on the outside), but no internal backbone. -> Invertebrate
4. Sea Anemone: It is a soft-bodied marine animal related to jellyfish and corals. No bones. -> Invertebrate
5. Fish (Clownfish): All fish have backbones. -> Vertebrate
6. Snake: It is a reptile. Even though it has no legs, it has a long backbone made of many vertebrae. -> Vertebrate
7. Octopus: It is a mollusk (soft-bodied). It has no bones at all. -> Invertebrate
8. Frog: It is an amphibian. It has a skeleton with a backbone. -> Vertebrate
9. Jellyfish: As the name suggests, it is mostly jelly-like tissue. No bones. -> Invertebrate
10. Worm: Earthworms and similar worms are soft-bodied with no skeleton. -> Invertebrate
11. Seagull: It is a bird. All birds have backbones. -> Vertebrate

*(Note: There is a partial image of a chameleon/lizard on the left edge and a crab/spider leg on the right edge. Based on standard biology:*
* *Lizards/Chameleons are reptiles -> Vertebrate)*
* *Crabs/Spiders are arthropods -> Invertebrate)*

Step 3: Final Grouping

Vertebrates (Have a backbone):
* Sea Turtle
* Fish
* Snake
* Frog
* Seagull
* *(Lizard/Chameleon if included)*

Invertebrates (No backbone):
* Starfish
* Bee
* Sea Anemone
* Octopus
* Jellyfish
* Worm
* *(Crab/Spider if included)*

Final Answer:
Vertebrates: Sea turtle, Fish, Snake, Frog, Seagull
Invertebrates: Starfish, Bee, Sea anemone, Octopus, Jellyfish, Worm
