What are the differences between Living things and Non-living things?
DOLPHIN NON-LIVING THINGS
LIVING THINGS
SEA
Living things are born. STONES

Living things grow .

Living things die.
Living things perform the Non-living things arent born.
three vital functions: Non-living things dont grow .
NUTRITION Non-living things dont die.
RELATION Non-living things dont perform
REPRODUCTION the three vital functions.
 How can we classify living thing?

We can classify living things into five groups known

as kingdoms. These five kingdoms are formed by
plants, fungi, animals, algae and protist and bacteria.

 Plants use air, water and light to make their food.

Plants dont have sense organs.

Plants cannot move from one place to another

because they are attached to the ground
by their roots.

What do plants use to make their own food?

Plants use air, water and sunlight to make their own food.

Why cant plants move?

Plants cant move because they are attached to the ground by their roots.

What are the parts of a plant?

The parts of a plant are stems, leaves and roots.

 Parts of a plant
STEM
Leaves make food
for the plant. The stem grow above the ground.
The petiole connect the The stem supports branches and leaves.
The stem carries water and minerals.

ROOTS

Roots keep the plant fixed
in one place.
Roots absorb water and

 The vital functions of a plants
Plants perform three vital functions in order to grow and live.

Nutrition: Interaction
Plants make their food . Plants can react to
the environment.
Some plants move
towards the sun.

Reproduction
Photosynthesis: Respiration: Plants reproduce by seeds.
Plants absorb sunlight, Plants absorb oxygen. Plants reproduce by a piece
carbon dioxide, Plants release carbon of the same plant.

Plants release oxygen
into air.
What three vital functions do plants perform in order to grow and live?

Plants perform three vital functions in order to grow

and live. These vital functions are nutrition, interaction
and reproduction.
 Plant classification

Flowering plants Non-flowering plants.

They reproduce through
flower, fruits or seeds.
They dont have flowers,
fruits or seeds.
They reproduce through spores.
Mosses and ferns are
non- flowerings plants.

 Fungi get their food from other living things.
They dont have sense organs.
They cant move from one place to another.
Fungi
mould

mushrooms

Other fungi are microscopic . For exmaple yeast.

They cant be seen with the naked eye.
Where do fungi get their food from?

Fungi get their food from other living things.

 Find food
Animals
Animals get their food

Find shelter

Some animals give birth to their young.

Reproduce.

Other animals lay eggs.

Why do most animals move around?

Most animals move around in order to find food,

shelter and reproduce.
Animals carry out three vital functions in order to live and grow.
NUTRITION
Animals need energy that come from food.
Food contains nutrients. Through the process
of nutrition animals transform nutrients into Omnivore animals
energy.

Animals cannot make their own food.

Herbivore animals get their food from plants.

Carnivore animals get their food by eating
other animals. Carnivore animals
Omnivore animals get their food from animals
and plants .
Where do herbivores, carnivores and omnivores get their
food from?
Herbivores get their food from plants, carnivores get their
food from other animals and omnivores get their food from
animals and plants.
 Reproduction
Relation Living things can make other living things.
Lions get birth to lions cubs.
Human beings and animals
interact with the world around
them.

When animals are hungry, This process is known as reproduction.

they hunt other animals. types of reproduction
Oviparous viviparous
 Animal classification.
Animals can be verbebrate or invertebrate
Vertebrate animals have backbone.
Vertebrate animals have an internal skeleton.
Vertebrete animals have a lot of bones.
Vertebrete animals can be oviparous and viviparous.
Nearly all vertebrate animals have limbs such as feet,
wings and fins.

backbone
 Invertebrate animals.
Invertebrate animals dont have internal
skeleton or bones.
All invertebrate animals are oviparous.

A snail is an invertebrate animal.

A snail is an oviparous animal.
 Algae
Algae are protist. Algae live in water.
Algae dont have roots or leaves.

Algae make their own food.

 Protists
Protozoa are microscopic protists that feed on other living things.

Protozoa can live in different habitats.

Ameboa and paramecium are examples of protozoa.

ameboa
Bateria

Bacteria are microscopic organisms that can live in different habitats.

Some bacteria make their own food.

Other bacteria get their food from other beings.

 Ecosystems
A Habitat is the place where it is natural for an animal,
plant or other organism to live within an ecosystem.

Different habitats have

different conditions such
as temperatura, light, air,
water or type of soil.
These conditions are
known as an environment.

All living things interact in an ecosystem

A population is made up of all of the

Individuals that belong to the same
species.

A community is made up of
various populations that depend
4 on one another in a particular
habitat.

An ecosystem is made up of
all the living things
that inhabit a particular place.
 Food chain
A food chain shows the feeding relationship
between the different organisms within an ecosystem.
The lion eats the deer.
The deer eats the
plant.
The plant needs water,
air and sunlinght to
grow .
