There are two basic groups of higher animals. They are vertebrates and invertebrates. While both have advanced through the processes of evolution, there is one fundamental difference. Invertebrates do not have backbones. Both groups are in the Kingdom Animalia, but their bodies are organized differently. What makes invertebrates different? All invertebrates share common traits. At the bottom of the invertebrate world are the sponges. Sometimes they don't fit in but they are still part of the group. Here's the nice and neat little list.

(1) They are multicellular. It's more than being a colony of individual cells. The cells are working together for the survival of the organism. All of the cells have specific duties and responsibilities.

(2) No backbone. We already talked about this one. That's the whole definition of invertebrate, no vertebrae.

(3) No cell walls. When we talked about plants, we always mentioned cell walls. Invertebrates don't have them. Remember that even if none of them look like animals, they are. Being an animal means you have no cell wall.

(4) Here are a few that have the qualifier "most" attached. That means not all of them have the trait, but most do. Most of them have tissues (not sponges) that are specific organizations of cells. Most of them reproduce sexually (not asexually). That means two gametes combine to form a new organism. Those gametes come from separate organisms (male and female).

Most invertebrates can move. Even sponges move when they are very young and very small. Once they settle down they don't move anymore. Other invertebrates like lobsters and insects move around their whole lives. Most invertebrates are organized in a way called symmetrical. Symmetrical organization means when you can draw a line down the middle of the organism and the two sides look like mirror images. Draw a line down the middle of yourself and one side looks like the other side. If you draw a line down the middle of an octopus you would find two sides with equal parts. Remember we said most? Sponges and some coral are not symmetrical.

(5) Invertebrates can't make their own food. Scientists use the word heterotrophic. Heterotrophs feed off other things to get their energy. Plants are autotrophic. They make their own food. Being heterotrophic is one of the main characteristics of being an animal. We eat things, whether it is plants or other animals. That's just the way the world works.

[Jordan Mallon, Ph.D., Research Scientist, Palaeobiology, Canadian Museum of Nature]  Have you ever wondered what would have happened if the dinosaurs didn't go extinct 66 million years ago?

[Opening animation: Naturally Weird & Wonderful]

[Narrator] When the Chicxulub meteorite hit our planet, it drastically altered the course of life on Earth.

But what if the meteorite had missed our planet, and the dinosaurs had been allowed to evolve undisturbed?

Dale Russell, former paleontologist at the Canadian Museum of Nature, was fascinated by the idea of the evolution of intelligence in dinosaurs.

This concept of interrupted evolution was at the heart of a controversial thought experiment that took the world of palaeontology by storm in the early 1980's.

[Jordan Mallon, Ph.D., Research Scientist, Palaeobiology, Canadian Museum of Nature] Dale Russell was endlessly curious. When he became interested in a topic, he had to know all about it, from the outside in, frontwards and backwards.

Dale started with the museum back in 1965, and soon after he started thinking about dinosaur intelligence.

In 1968, he was shown the braincase of a small meat-eating dinosaur called Troodon in Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta.

When Dale examined the braincase, he noticed that the brain was relatively large-about the size of that of an ostrich.

At the time, scientists thought dinosaurs were small-brained and dim-witted like most lizards.

But the braincase of Troodon showed that that wasn't true of all dinosaurs.

[Peter Dodson, Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of Paleontology and Veterinary Anatomy, University of Pennsylvania] Dale was the first one to make a case that some dinosaurs, particularly small theropod dinosaurs, like Stenonychosaurus as we called it then-I guess it's Troodon today-was in fact very brainy.

Seven times more brainy than an alligator of the equivalent body size. Or more or less as brainy as a bird.

[Jordan Mallon] When Dale described the skeleton of this dinosaur, there were a number of features that stood out to him, including the relatively big brain, the large eyes, the bipedal stance, and what he thought was an opposable thumb. All these are features that we associate with intelligent animals today.

This eventually led Dale to wonder: What if Troodon didn't go extinct at the end of the Cretaceous Period?

How might its evolution have continued for the next 66 million years?

[Narrator] In the early 1980's, Dale Russell published a paper about his theory and starting working with taxidermist and model maker, Ron Séguin, to produce models of Troodon and its evolved form: the dinosauroid.

[Ron Séguin, Taxidermist and Model Maker]  Having done the Troodon model with him, we then proceeded to apply Dale's interpretation of what would happen in the process of evolution.

There was no aim to make it human-like.

He was simply applying the processes that he understood were necessary in the evolutionary process.

So if you're not chasing small critters, then you don't need the long neck.

So as you don't need the long neck, because you've changed your food source, you also don't need a long tail to counterbalance as you're trying to chase these things down.

And in the case of the brain case, the process of an enlarged brain, had it had 65 million years to accomplish this, would have evolved in a bigger brain case as you see in humans.

[On-screen text: Excerpt from Paleoworld: Troodon: Dinosaur Genius] The eyes are focused more directly toward the front than they are in the dinosaur so it probably would have had stereoscopic vision, as we happen to. The face is shortened.

It has hands which it uses as tools and feeding devices rather than a jaw.

The backbone is vertical. The pelvis is rotated beneath it.

We feel that this is an expectable, viable body form in our thought experiment.

And indeed the dinosaur looks more like us than our own ancestors did.

[Jordan Mallon] Dale's dinosauroid was met with mixed reaction by the scientific community.

I don't think many people bought into Dale's specific reconstruction of the animal, but they did think it was an interesting idea.

Other people took a harder line against Dale's thought experiment, and thought it was just preposterous that a dinosaur could ever evolve to look anything like a human.

[Peter Dodson] The Dinosauroid was a huge cultural success. People really liked seeing this.

But even though it was based on a very careful analysis of scientific trends, that there was I think it's fair to say disappointment in the scientific community that it came out looking like the proverbial little green man.

And the scientific reaction was "but Dale, we've known about little green men since the 1930's!" And I'm sure that he was hurt by that reaction.

[Narrator] The image of the dinosauroid has sparked the imagination of many since it was first published.

This painting was created by Ely Kish, a well-known artist that worked with Dale Russell illustrating dinosaur scenes for his books.

[Jordan Mallon] The dinosauroid's image has appeared all over the popular press, from documentaries to books and even to the tabloids.

[Narrator] Today, "Herman"-as he is affectionately named by Museum staff- serves as a mascot for Research and Collections at the Museum's Gatineau campus.

[Alan McDonald, Collection Technician, Palaeobiology, Canadian Museum of Nature] Herman has become an endearing, unofficial member of the staff.

He tends to hang out in the Research and Collections coffee room, regularly participates in the holiday celebrations dressing up in fitting festive attire, sometimes wanders about the Natural Heritage Campus.

And he even makes a cameo appearance in our annual Research and Collections staff photo.

[Narrator] But beyond the humour, the dinosauroid also represents scientific curiosity and the brilliant mind of palaeontologist Dr. Dale Russell.

[Jordan Mallon] As modest as Dale was, he left behind a huge scientific legacy-one that had a big influence on me as a young dinosaur-nut growing up in Ottawa.

It was an honour to be able to co-edit a special volume in Dale's memory, a collection of top-notch research papers inspired by Dale's own work.

[Alan McDonald] Dale's dinosauroid was a unique and very creative out-of-the-box "what if?" that gave us all a greater appreciation for our own existence.

[On-screen text: In memory of Dale Russell, Ph.D. 1937-2019]

"Operation RubyThroat: The Hummingbird Project" is a cross-disciplinary international initiative in which people collaborate to study behavior and distribution of the Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Archilochus colubris)
Although K-12 teachers and students are the primary target audience, Operation RubyThroat is open to ANYONE interested in hummingbirds. Most participants live in the United States , Canada , Mexico , and Central America ( Belize , Costa Rica , El Salvador , Guatemala , Honduras , Nicaragua, and Panama )--countries in which this bird regularly occurs. Operation RubyThroat operates as an independent project and as a protocol within The GLOBE Program. Because Ruby-throated Hummingbirds typically tolerate people and are drawn to flowers and feeders we provide, they are ideal for natural history observation and research by students and adults of all ages. Ruby-throats breed in eastern and central North America and southern Canada; most spend winter (September to March) in Mexico and Central America as far south as the Panama Canal. Few details are known about their migration or winter behavior in the tropics, but habitat destruction along and at both ends of the migration path undoubtedly poses danger. In Operation RubyThroat , participants observe the Ruby-throated Hummingbird in their home countries and share information with peers across North and Central America. Data they collect about hummingbird behavior and distribution are submitted to a central clearing house, analyzed, and then disseminated through this Operation RubyThroat Web site. Participants learn not only about natural history of hummingbirds but reinforce skills in math, writing, geography, foreign language, art, drama, and other disciplines AND gain deeper understanding of the need for environmental cooperation among people of the Americas. Operation RubyThroat is trademarked by Hilton Pond Center for Piedmont Natural History, a 501(c)(3) non-profit research and education organization in York, South Carolina USA.

Curriculum Overview

Climate services, like those provided by the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI), use climate data, forecasts, and science to inform decision making for real world problems. This unit contains three modules appropriate for middle and high schoolers that discuss how relevant climate information is generated and used in practice.

A backbone of climate services is climate forecasting, or the use of climate models to predict the average weather in the coming months and years, which is introduced in Fold and Forecast. The use of climate information helps make decisions about tomorrow, such as when responding to extreme events, which is explored in Disastrous Decision Making. Finally, climate information is also used for making decisions about future growing seasons, such as in To Farm or Not to Farm, and for making decisions further in the future as our climate continues to change.

All three of these activities are examples of how professionals in different sectors use climate services in the field. Each student will learn the importance of communicating scientific data to help people around the world. For a concise description of the activities, please see the Curriculum Overview Teacher's Guide.

These activities were created by Climate Society Community Outreach (CSCO), through the work of two CSCO interns, Suzie Hicks and Sheri Kusatzky, and CSCO members including Laurel DiSera, Nathan Lenssen, and others.

Ocean Worlds

Water in the Solar System and Beyond

The story of oceans is the story of life. Oceans define our home planet, covering the majority of Earth's surface and driving the water cycle that dominates our land and atmosphere. But more profound still, the story of our oceans envelops our home in a far larger context that reaches deep into the universe and places us in a rich family of ocean worlds that span our solar system and beyond.

Next

Origins of Oceans

Next

Oceans of Earth

How are our oceans changing?

Water on Earth is very abundant- about 71 percent of Earth's surface is covered by water.

There are more than 326 million trillion gallons of water on Earth. Earth's oceans contain about 96.5 percent of all the planet's water.

Less than 3 percent of all water on Earth is freshwater (usable for drinking).

More than two-thirds of Earth's freshwater is locked up in ice caps and glaciers.

Next

Monitoring Our Oceans

Changing sea levels will affect everyone on our planet, and NASA has been monitoring these trends for decades.

As global temperatures increase, the ocean responds by expanding.

Factoid: Ocean levels are currently rising at the rate of 0.13 inches per year.

The Greenland ice sheet is melting at the rate of 287 billion tons a year, and the Antarctic ice sheet is losing 134 billion tons a year. Both will be factors in sea level rise.

Next

Mars was once much more Earth-like, with a thick atmosphere, abundant water, and global oceans (as in this artist's conception).

Billions of years ago, Mars lost its protective global magnetic field, leaving it vulnerable to the effects of our Sun: solar wind and space weather.

The MAVEN mission has measured Mars continuing to lose its atmosphere to the Sun at the rate of nearly 400 kilograms per hour.

Scientists estimate that Mars has lost approximately 87 percent of the water it had billions of years ago.

Science is the study of the world around us. Scientists learn about their subject by observing, describing, and experimenting. There are many subjects and branches of science. Some study outer space like astronomy. Other sciences study life (biology) or the earth (geology) or even matter and energy (physics). Below are some subjects that you may be interested in or studying in class. The world around us is fascinating and learning about it can be fun and interesting.

Much of the science we know today was discovered using theScientific Method. The Scientific Method is a method scientists use to get accurate results from their experiments.

It's widely known that music promotes memory and learning. Professor Greg J. Crowther, at the University of Washington, has been studying this connection for years. Here's what he has to say about music and learning:
Music is often considered a tool for efficiently memorizing science content, and it is true that 'catchy' lyrics are likely to be retained even if they cover highly technical material. At their best, however, content-rich songs are more than mnemonic devices. They also have the potential to engage students in a way that conventional classroom activities do not, and permit exploration and analysis of content that goes well beyond rote memorization. Because music can play these varied roles, it can be incorporated into both earlier and later stages of the learning process. For example, one instructor might use a song at the start of a lesson to introduce new vocabulary words, while another might end a lesson by having students critique scientific lyrics for clarity and precision, thus assessing their developing knowledge of a topic.
If you'd like to learn more about Professor Crowther's work, please read this study in Advances in Physiology Education.
