| Dichotomous key | A tool that allows you to determine the identy of items |
| Mammal | Feed milk to young and move to find food and escape from predators |
| Fish | They have gills, fins, well developed sensory system and they can't control that body temperature and they are cold blooded |

| Reptiles | They have dry and scaly skin. They keep the internal body temperature steady |
| Amphibians | They lay eggs on water, some live close to the desert. They have smooth and moist skin |
| Differences between radial and bilateral symmetry | Bilateral symmetry is a mirror like image if you cut it in half it looks the same on both sides. Radial symmetry has body parts around a central axis |
