Intro to Invertebrates

A note from Ms. Young:

Today the kids tried their hands at classifying invertebrates into specific categories. 


Here are some snippets of conversation that I eavesdropped as kids worked in groups to categorize their animals.

"I think earthworms are annelids!"

"Is a sponge a porifera?"

"Well, a flatworm is a parasite, and planarian is a parasite, so they must be the same."

"A starfish must be an echinoderm because it's kinda spiky."

"You called a sea urchin cute???"

"Squids and octopus are definitely both mollusks."

Wow! It's always a pleasure to listen in on Peabody kids :)
