About this worksheet
A three-page fact file comparing vertebrates and invertebrates for Year 6. A Classification Anchor box shows the animal kingdom splitting into vertebrates, with a fish skeleton, and invertebrates, with a snail and an ant. Six Key Classification Facts boxes follow, from Main Defining Difference and The Five Vertebrate Groups to Body Support Systems and Species Distribution in the Animal Kingdom. A Did You Know box asks for one unexpected animal fact, and pupils end with a short summary of why scientists group animals this way. The answer key gives model answers, such as invertebrates making up about 95% to 97% of species. It follows the England National Curriculum.
