Lift-the-flap Classification Chart of Invertebrates
Purpose of activity: To provide a reference that can be used for current or future study of classification of invertebrates
Target age group: ages 9-16
Description of activity: As shown in the picture above, this is a classification chart with "Phylum Flaps" that lift to reveal the classes of creatures in that phylum.
Time needed: 20-30 minutes (If an adult pre-cuts the flaps for the students, it can be assembled in 5-10 minutes.)
Materials you will need: Copies of the pattern pages printed onto heavy card stock paper, clear tape, a good quality glue stick or white glue (avoid washable glue sticks and “school glue” if at all possible), scissors, an X-Acto knife or razor blade, and a heavy piece of cardboard to lay under papers while you cut the flaps with the knife
