Notebooks are a great way to keep track of your science projects. In this column we will be learning about all types of animals. If you have a notebook already prepared then you can simply put your animals where they go once you learn what type of animal it is.

You will need:

Use the card stock to print out the dividers you will need for your notebook. There are two major classifications of animals – INVERTEBRATES and VERTEBRATES. You can either make two main sections or have two separate notebooks. Vertebrates are animals with backbones. Invertebrates are animals without backbones. You can print out the divider pages for these two groups that are provided here or design your own.

Once you have these printed out and in your notebook you will then add subdividers.

First print or make one for ARTHROPODS. This will go behind your invertebrate divider. There are three types of arthropods –INSECTS, CRUSTACEANS and ARACHNIDS. We will add those dividers later as we come to those animals.

Finish the vertebrate section by adding dividers for:

Now on to the vertebrate section of your notebook. You will need five dividers. You can print them out from here or design your own. Make a divider page for :

There are subdivisions under these but we will add those as we come to them.

Now you ready to go! Watch for our first animal in the Animals A-Z series.
