Lesson 1
A backbone is a chain of bones
along the middle of the back.
Insects are animals without a backbone.
Insects have six legs and three body parts.
Birds are animals that
have feathers, beaks, and wings.
Reptiles are animals that
have scales and dry skin.
Mammals are animals that
have fur or hair, give
birth to live young, and feed
their young milk..
Most amphibians have wet
skin, live in water when
they are young, and live on
land when they grow
such as frogs and salamanders.
Fish are animals that live in
water, have bodies
covered with scales, and
have gills to help them
breathe.

Mammals have fur or hair. Mammals give birth to live young. The
mother mammal feeds its young with milk. Cats, dogs, are mammals.
Birds have feathers, beaks, and wings. Most birds use their wings to fly.
Birds lay eggs to have their young. Birds search for food to feed their
young. Eagles, ducks, ostriches, and parrots are birds.
Reptiles lay eggs. Reptiles have scales and dry skin. Most
reptiles have four legs, but snakes have no legs. Some reptiles
have flippers, like turtles, to help them swim in water. A turtle
also has a shell on its back. A crocodile and a lizard are
reptiles.
Young amphibians live in water. When they grow, they can live
on land. Most amphibians have smooth, wet skin. A frog is an
amphibian.
