Characteristics of Vertebrates

Characteristics of Vertebrates. Learning Objectives for this video:

• Characteristics of Vertebrates. Learn about Urochordates. Gain an introduction to the subphyla Urochordata and Cephalochordata, and explore the three classes of fish: jawless fish, cartilaginous fish, and bony fish such as hagfish, sharks, stingrays, piranhas, scorpion fish, and others.
• Survey tunicates, lancelets, lampreys, sharks, stingrays, trout, salmon, pike, muskellunge, electric eels, piranhas, goldfish, catfish, sea horses, largemouth bass, and barracudas.
• Cite the scientific names of different orders of fish, identify fish species belonging to those orders, describe the habitats of selected protochordates and fish species, and discuss the diet and physical characteristics of selected species of fish.
• Examine the unusual adaptations of the lobe-finned fish.
• Discover the many benefits of using online video for visual learning. Educational video for teaching the K-12 curriculum provides online learning for children and students of all ages and abilities. Using subtitled video - or video with closed captions - enables children to choose between watching, listening to, or reading each presentation whichever best suites their individual learning style. A wonderful option particularly for dyslexia and special needs education.
