About this worksheet
A research fact file for Year 4 science on vertebrates. A skeleton picture with the label Backbone (spine) opens the sheet, with a box to sketch a British vertebrate. Pupils then fill six Key Facts boxes: the defining feature, the five groups, body coverings, breathing organs, body temperature and how young are produced. A Did You Know box and a short summary on why classification matters finish the sheet. The answer key gives model facts, such as fish breathing with gills and reptiles laying leathery eggs. It links to the England National Curriculum objectives on grouping living things.
