Kingdom Animalia--Lesson 10
Lesson 10--Nematods, Annelids, and Platyhelminthes--Worms, worms, worms!
Read about nematode, annelids, and platyhelminthes using a good resource. Our favorite resource for this lesson is Come Learn with Me: Animals Without Backbones.
Characteristics of Phylum Nematoida (threadlike) more commonly known as round wormsAnAnn
1) Long, slender, rounded bodies
Characteristics of Phylum Annelida (little rings) more commonly known as ring worms or segmented worms
1) Body is a tube within a tube
2) Produce slimy mucus
3) Breathe through skin
4) Segmented body
Characteristics of Phylum Platyhelminthes (flat worm)
1) Flat, ribbon-like body
Objectives:
Student will be able to list major characteristics of nematode, annelids, and platyhelminthes and will be able to give an example of each.
Project:
Younger students: Draw a picture of a particular species of nematode, annelid, or platyhelminthes and use the biodiversity website to explore the animal's taxonomy.

Older students: Fill out an animal report form (this one from CurrClick is free and will work for this activity), making sure to include the characteristics that make this animal a nematode, annelid, platyhelminthes. Use the bio-diversity website to explore the animal's taxonomy.
