Branching diagram poster

Biologists use a classification system to show how members of
the animal kingdom are alike and different. Below is a list of
animal category names. Sort the names and create a branching
diagram poster that shows how the categories are related to one
another. Start your poster with Kingdom Animalia at the top,
and divide this into vertebrates and invertebrates. As you place
each category name on your poster, find a picture or illustration
of a representative member of the category from a magazine or
the Internet, and include that picture on your poster. You may
also make sketches.

Category names (in no particular order - you must decide how to
place them on your poster!)

1. Phylum Platyhelminthes (flatworms)


2. Phylum Porifera (sponges)


3. Phylum Mollusca
