Today I will show you some pictures that I have used in a Natural Science CLIL lesson.
This lesson is related with the vertebrate animals.
I will explain why I have used these pictures and where I found it.
In order to explain vertebrate animals, we will use different pictures to show our pupils real animals.
Firs of all we will show a snake picture.
Reptiles are vertebrate animals characterised by the way they crawl or drag themselves along the ground. Examples include the snake, the crocodile, the lizard and the tortoise. This is because they originally lived in water. Evolution has enabled them to fully adapt to life on land. Nevertheless, they do normally live near water (reservoirs, lakes, the banks of rivers, etc.).
Reptiles’ bodies are generally covered with a dry skin made of scales. They breathe through lungs and are cold blooded, i.e. their body temperature varies according to climatic conditions. The majority are oviparous, reproducing by means of eggs that incubate in a nest. There are some 8,000 different reptile species in the world.

Next image is related with birds. Birds belong to the vertebrates group. Their principal characteristic is that they can fly. To do this they have an aerodynamic body, and their front limbs have evolved into two wings of identical shape and size. The ostrich, emu and penguin are amongst the few exceptional bird species that cannot fly.
Other characteristics of birds include having a body that is covered in feathers, breathing through lungs, and having a beak instead of teeth. Birds are oviparous, that is to say that after mating they lay eggs and leave them to incubate until their young are born.
Birds are the most abundant species on earth. There are more than 9,000 different types of birds.

This bank of picture are so useful. We can find pictures related with animals to use it in CLIL lessons.
Also, we can use video resources in our lessons.
