1. Learning outcomes  / Evaluation criteria	To distinguish between vertebrates and invertebrates. To know the types of vertebrates. To know the characteristics of vertebrates.
2. Subject Content	Types of vertebrates: fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. Characteristics of vertebrates: environment in which they live, type of skin, organ used to breath, body temperature, type and number of limbs, type of nutrition and reproduction.
	3. Language Content / Communication

Structures	Routines: Complete the sentence:  All vertebrates have              , fish breath through                . Questions: How many types of vertebrates do you know? What kinds of vertebrates use lungs? Content: Active voice: All vertebrates have backbone, birds breathe through lungs. Comparatives: Amphibians are cold-blooded however mammals are warm-blooded. Such as, for example: Vertebrates, such as dolphins and bats, are mammals. Classroom management: Can you write your answer in your notebook? Can you write your answer in the blackboard? Can you work in pairs? Can you ask each other? Can you complete the table?
Discourse type	Exposition: Short definitions or comparative sentences Description: Use of adjectives to describe characteristics of vertebrates
Language skills	Reading, writing, listening and speaking
4. Contextual (cultural) element	The necessity of protecting animals and their environments.
5. Cognitive (thinking) processes	understand, compare, analyse, explain
6. (a) Task(s)	Final Tasks: 1. Look for information about a vertebrate that you like and explain to your partner its body characteristics, where it lives and something curious about it. (Work in pairs) 2. Do you know that there are some mammals that lay eggs? Look for an example and explain it to the rest of the class. (optional activity)
6. (b) Activities	1st season Difference between vertebrates and invertebrates Warming up - Activities 1 and 2 Unidad ACICLE Animals. Invertebrates and Vertebrates (Individual activities, 50 min with the general explanation of the unit) 1. Write 10 names of animals and think if they are vertebrates or invertebrates. 2. Classify the animals that you see in the slideshow into vertebrates or invertebrates. Do the word search. - Exercise 3 of Science Antillas, The six types of animals from elearning for kids. Spot the vertebrates. (The big group, 10 min) 2st season Fish, amphibians and reptiles - 3 activitites from educaplay.com (The big group, 25 min with the explanation) To study the parts of fish and reptiles and the characteristics of amphibians - Activities 1 and 2 of the section FISH, activity 2 of the section AMPHIBIANS and REPTILES of Unidad AICLE Vertebrates (Individual activities, 20 min) Activities to study the characteristics of these vertebrates by filling the gaps or marching the sentences. - Watch the video about frogs metamorphosis and answer the questions. (Individual activity, 15 min) Questions: What organs do tadpoles use to breathe? and frogs? What kind of nutrition do tadpoles have? and frogs? Do tadpoles have a tail? and frogs? 3rd season Birds and Mammals - 5 activities from educaplay.com (The big group, 30 min with the explanation) To study the parts of birds and mammals and their characteristics. To increase the mammals vocabulary. - Activities 1 to 5 of the section MAMMALS and 1 of the section BIRDS of Unidad AICLE Vertebrates (Individual activities, 30 min) To go deeper in the study of mammals and birds. 4th season - Complete the table (40 min) Vertebrate Skin Breathing Body temperature Limbs Nutrition Reproduction Fish through gills cold-blooded fins Reptiles 1. To learn the new vocabulary and the characteristics: Complete the table (Individual activity) 2. To be able to use the new vocabulary: Practice in pairs: each student has to say short sentences to connect the concepts, e.g. The skin of a fish is smooth and is covered with scales, fish breathe through gills... - Final tasks (20 min) Students work in pairs to explain the information that they found (See Final tasks 6a) 5th season Review (1h) Computer season (in pairs) 1) Exercise 5 of Science Caribbean sea. Classifying animals. To classify the vertebrates into the different groups. 2) Exercise 4 of Science Caribbean sea. Classifying animals. To review the characteristics of birds and amphibians 3) Exercise 3 of Science Caribbean sea. Classifying animals. To review the characteristics of mammals. 4) Exercise 3 of Science Antilles. See animals and their habitats. To classify animals into fish, reptiles and invertebrates 5) Exercise 2 of Science Mexico. Animals Habitats. To review the characteristics of vertebrates and learn their habitats 6) Exercise 4 of Science Nova Zembla Expedition. Habitats To learn about adaptation 7) Exercise 2 of Science South Africa. Plants, Animals and Energy. To review the animals nutrition 8) Exercise 1 of Science Loch Ness. Care of our environment. To be conscious about the necessity of protecting animals and conserving the environment.

Está basada sobre todo en la experiencia práctica a la hora de diseñar unidades y conversaciones con expertos y compañeros.
