How are these organisms similar to one another? How are they different?

Bird, frog ,sea star, shark, sponge, squid, worm, jellyfish, clam, coral and other organisms

TRY and divide them into two main categories based on classification.

List the categories and divide them organisms into two groups

OBSERVE SPECIMENS

1. Distinguish between vertebrates and invertebrates.

2. Identify temporary and permanent zooplankton.

3. Describe how plankton will be caught for study.

INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES

Name the animal Vertebrate or invertebrate? COPY: Organisms that are heterotrophic, most move, are

eukaryotic and lack cell walls are classified in the animal kingdom. The consumption of food is called heterotrophic nutrition. The animal kingdom can be divided into two major sub groups, the vertebrates(animals with backbones) and the invertebrates(animals without backbones). The ZOOPLANKTON are a diverse group of animal like plankton.

GUESS THE AIM????????

ACTIVITY WORKSHEET

WHERE CAN YOU FIND AN ABUNDANCE OF INVERTEBRATES?

AIM: HOW DIVERSE ARE THE MARINE ZOOPLANKTON?

Many invertebrates are part of the plankton community Plankton are tiny organisms that drift near the ocean

surface Animal and animal-like plankton are called ZOOPLANKTON Some species of zooplankton are unicellular organisms ,

most others are small invertebrate animals

Where can you find an abundance of marine invertebrates?

SHOW NET Draw Plankton Net

Zooplankton are divided into two groups temporary and permanent zooplankton

Temporary zooplankton are the embryos/larvae of crabs, lobsters, sponges, clams and other invertebrates

Permanent zooplankton are small invertebrate species, like copepods, which remain in the plankton population for its entire life cycle

ZOOPLANKTON

DRAW OR CUT OUT AND PASTE

DESCRIBE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TEMPORARY AND PERMANENT ZOOPLANKTON?

TEMPORARY or MERO ZOOPLANKTON-plankton for a short period of time during its life cycle

PERMANENT or HOLO ZOOPLANKTON-plankton for entire life BENTHIC-bottom dweller SESSILE-stationary: does not move

VOCABULARY

The animal kingdom contains vertebrates and invertebrates. In addition, there are the protozoa which are tiny animal like organisms. Some protozoa and many marine invertebrates are found in the oceans zooplankton population, which consists of temporary(meroplankton/invertebrate larvae) and permanent/holoplankton zooplankton

SUMMARY

1. Explain the difference between temporary and permanent zooplankton?

2. An organism that is attached to a substrate is called: A. benthic B. sessile C. neritic D. nekton 3. T or F. correct for full creditLobsters are permanent zooplankton. 4. Describe and give an example of a marine invertebrate

and a marine vertebrate.
