Vertebrates and Invertebrates

Last week we learned about vertebrates. What is a vertebrate?

A vertebrate is an animal that has a backbone.

So if there is a group of animals called vertebrates, then there is name for the group of animals that do NOT have backbones. These are called INVERTEBRATES.

Let’s investigate more about VERTEBRATES and INVERTEBRATES.
