MOST ESSENTIAL LEARNING COMPETENCIES
Determine the distinguishing
characteristics of
vertebrates and in
vertebrates
(S6MT-Iie-f-3)
OBJECTIVE
S
At the end of the lesson, the students
should be able to:
1. Identify the five types of vertebrates
2. Describe the characteristics of type of
vertebrate animals
3. Classify the vertebrate animals as
mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fishes
and birds
Unlocking of

Difficulties
Vertebrates – Animals with
backbone.
Invertebrates - animals without
backbone
Mammary glands- are the organs that, in
the female mammal, produce milk for the
food of the young.
Warm-blooded animals- are animals can
make their own body heat even when it is
cold outside. The body temperatures that
usually stay the same.
Cold-blooded animals- are animals
become hotter and colder, depending
on the temperature outside.
Oviparous animals- are animals that produce
young by means of eggs that are hatched after
they have been laid by the parent.
Viviparous animals- are animals that produce
living young instead of eggs from within the
body in the manner of nearly all mammals,
many reptiles, and a few fishes.
VERTEBRATES
Animals that
have backbones
called
vertebrates.
Amphibians,
reptiles, fish,
birds, and
mammals are
some examples
of vertebrates.

There are five types of vertebrates and they all
look different from each other:
• 1. Mammals
• 2. Birds
• 3. Reptiles
• 4. Fish
• 5. Amphibians
1. MAMMALS
• Mammals usually have HAIR or FUR on their bodies.
• Most mammals have got four legs, also called LIMBS.
• They breathe with their lungs.
• They give birth to live young; they are VIVIPAROUS.
1. MAMMALS
• They breathe with their LUNGS.
• Many mammals have also got a TAIL.
MAMMALS REPRODUCTION
• Female mammals give birth to live young that have
developed inside their body. So mammals are
VIVIPAROUS.
• Female mammals have also got MAMMARY GLANDS;
they produce milk to feed their young.
MAMMALS
• Mammals feed on many things. Some mammals, like lions
and tigers, are CARNIVORES. Other mammals, like cows
and deer, are HERBIVORES. Mammals, like bears and
chimpanzees, are OMNIVORES.
2. BIRDS
• Birds have got FEATHERS on their bodies.
• They have got two LEGS,
two WINGS and a BEAK.
2. BIRDS
• Most birds CAN FLY.
• Some birds CAN SWIM.
2. BIRDS
• They BREATHE with their LUNGS.
2. BIRDS
• They LAY EGGS on land. They are OVIPAROUS.
• They incubate their eggs to keep them warm.
3. REPTILES
• Reptiles have got HARD SCALES on their body.
3. REPTILES
• They’ve got lungs to breathe air.
• Most reptiles have four legs.
• Snakes are different because they haven’t got legs. They
SLITHER over the ground.
3. REPTILES
• Most reptiles lay eggs on land. They are OVIPAROUS.
• The main groups of reptiles are: LIZARDS, SNAKES,
TURTLES and CROCODILES.
4. FISH
• Fish have got a long body that is covered with SCALES.
• They’ve also got FINS to swim through the water.
4. FISH
• They breathe through GILLS.
4. FISH
• Fish are OVIPAROUS. The females produce eggs and lay
them in the water.
5. AMPHIBIANS
• Most amphibians have four legs.
• They have got SMOOTH SKIN.
5. AMPHIBIANS
• They are OVIPAROUS. They lay eggs in water.
• When amphibians are young, they are aquatic animals,
with GILLS to breathe. Later, when they become adults,
they grow LUNGS so they can breathe air and live on
land.
5. AMPHIBIANS
• They are also called cold-blooded animals.
• Most amphibians also have soft and slimy skin which is
also used in breathing.
