  4. Essential Question What are the distinguishing characteristics of the animal kingdom and representative organisms of each?

  5. Objectives Students will be able to: • identify the vertebrates and invertebrates • demonstrate an understanding of classification of organisms • properly and safely manipulate technological tools • contribute to the completion of class assignments and class discussions

  7. Virtual Field Trip • Teacher will hand out an assignment that students will fill out during the field trip. Vertebrate

  8. Virtual Field Trip • Students will find vertebrates and invertebrates at the museum and classify them using the assignment sheet. Invertebrate

  9. Virtual Field Trip Teacher will introduce the panoramic virtual tour of the National Museum of Natural History.

  11. After the Virtual Field Trip: - Matching Activity

  12. Assessment • Completion of worksheets • Student participation during class discussions • Observe students understanding of the assignment and the use of technology

  13. Rationale • Understanding of evolutionary relationships between organisms and the taxonomic classification • Discover various animals - Explore at their own pace • Interactive and fun • Provide pictures, videos, and sounds that aid students in learning and comprehension

  14. Reflection Benefits: • flexibility of access • images from a variety of viewpoints and at many different scales Disadvantages: - difficulty zooming in
