OBJECTIVES
 Define an animal and the characteristics necessary for
that classification.
 Identify an organism as an animal from an unknown
group of organisms.
 Identify the different body plans found in animals.
 Identify and/or describe how and/or why organisms
are hierarchically classified based on evolutionary
relationships.
 Observe and analyze the evolutionary connections of
animals based on body plan evidence.
 Describe the characteristics of endotherms and
ectotherms and list some adaptations of vertebrates and
invertebrates that facilitate survival, including behavior.
 Investigate and differentiate among the major
characteristics of the phylum invertebrata.
 Investigate and differentiate among the major
characteristics of the subphylum vertebrata.
 Identify and describe a representative organism from the
phyla chordata and category invertabrates (consists of
at least 33 phyla)
 Trace the development of systems among the major
chordates from an evolutionary standpoint.
